The power of the laser that automatic power control system control CD player's read head is sent.Fig. 4 is the foundation block diagram that comprises the CD-ROM device 400 of automatic power control system 406 of the present invention.In an embodiment, CD-ROM device 400 comprises front end detecting diode 410, automatic power control system 406, laser diode drive 416 and laser diode 418.Laser diode drive 416 forms signal I1~I4 according to a plurality of drivings and a plurality of driving enable signal OE1~OE4 produces a drive current I.The watt level of laser can descend along with multiple function situation, and for example temperature rises or the laser disc rotating speed rises.Therefore automatic power control system 406 carries out an automated power control program with along with multiple function situation is adjusted the drive current I of laser diode 418, so that keep the power stability of the laser that laser diode 418 sends.
Front end detecting diode 410 is at first taken a sample output power of laser diode to obtain analog input signal R.Automatic power control system 406 is then adjusted to drive according to analog input signal R and is formed signal I1~I4.In an embodiment, automatic power control system 406 comprises and writes pulse generator 402, sampling pulse generator 404, controller 430, two sample-and-hold circuit 412a and 412b, two low-pass filter 411a and 411b, analog-to-digital converter 413, compensator 414, and digital to analog converter 415.In an embodiment, though the laser of a plurality of performance numbers of laser diode 418 emission tools, automatic power control system 406 only uses wherein two performance numbers to control all performance numbers.In an embodiment, this two power is Writing power and deletion power.Fig. 5 is the process flow diagram that carries out the method 900 of automated power control according to the present invention.At first, sampling keeps module 412a and 412b to take a sample an analog input signal R to obtain corresponding respectively to the two analog input signal Sa1 and the Sb1 (step 902) of Writing power and deletion power according to sample-pulse signal SH1 and SH2 respectively.Sampling pulse generator 404 generation sample-pulse signal SH1 and SH2 are to indicate corresponding Writing power of which section analog input signal R and deletion power.Low-pass filter 411a and 411b then filter analog input signal Sa1 and Sb1 to obtain signal Sa2 and Sb2.
When low-pass filter 411a and 411b began to produce signal Sa2 and Sb2, trap signal Sa2 and Sb2 were also unstable.Therefore, the time point (step 904) of controller 430 decision activation one digitizing drive signal AD_trig and a compensation drive signal Ctrl_trig.In an embodiment, when filtering signal Sa2 and Sb2 and stablize, controller 430 activation digitizing drive signal AD_trig.In an embodiment, controller 430 basis signal APC_area are to produce digitizing drive signal AD_trig and compensation drive signal Ctrl_trig.The laser disc surface that CD-ROM device 400 reads or writes is divided into automated power control area (APCarea) and data area, and wherein automated power control area and data area are apart from one another by arrangement.The data area is used to store general data, and the automated power control area is used for automated power control.Whether signal APC_area projects the automated power control area of laser disc in order to the laser of pilot light disc player.
When digitizing drive signal AD_trig is enabled, analog-to-digital converter 413 will filter back analog input signal Sa2 and Sb2 is converted to numerical data Sa3 and Sb3 (step 906).Same, when analog-to-digital converter 413 had just begun to produce numerical data Sa3 and Sb3, numerical data Sa3 and Sb3 were also unstable.Therefore, when numerical data Sa3 and Sb3 stablize, controller 430 activations compensation drive signal Ctrl_trig.When compensation drive signal Ctrl_trig activation, compensator 414 produces to drive according to numerical data Sa3 and Sb3 and a desired value forms signal d1, d2, d3, d4 (step 908).In an embodiment, compensator 414 relatively by the numerical data Sa3 of Writing power detecting gained and a target Writing power value producing a power level difference, and send the driving composition signal d3 of the laser of Writing power in order to the driving laser diode according to this power level difference adjustment.Because each performance number is all proportional, so other correction drives composition signal d1, d2, d4 can calculate to scale according to this power level difference.
It is that the simulation kenel is to obtain driving composition signal I1, I2, I3, I4 (step 910) from digital conversion that digital to analog converter 415 then will drive composition signal d1, d2, d3, d4.Then, laser diode drive 416 produces a drive current I (step 912) according to driving composition signal I1, I2, I3, I4 and driver enable signal OE1~OE4.Write pulse generator 402 generations and correspond respectively to driving composition signal I1, I2, I3, the driver enable signal OE1 of I4, OE2, OE3, OE4.When one of them was enabled whenever driver enable signal OE1, OE2, OE3, OE4, laser diode drive 416 is formed signal I1, I2, I3, I4 with corresponding driving, and one of them added to drive current I.At last, laser diode 418 produces the laser that has according to the power of drive current I decision, and finishes the automated power control program.Therefore, even the temperature change of laser diode 418, after the automated power control program carried out, laser diode 418 still can produce the laser with accurate power P.Afterwards, CD-ROM device 400 is proceeded data and is write.
Fig. 6 is the synoptic diagram according to the sampling process of the analog input signal of front end detecting diode of the present invention generation.When the automated power control program carried out, laser diode 418 throwed laser to one an automated power control area according to the control WSR that writes pulse generator 402.The conversion between two performance number I1, I2 of the power of laser.In an embodiment, laser is kept the time of 20T so that the output that front end detecting diode produces is stable in each performance number I1, I2.Front end detecting diode 410 needs time T 1 detecting the stabilization signal of performance number I2, and needs time T 2 to detect the stabilization signal of performance number I1.When analog input signal was stablized, sampling pulse generator 404 generation sampling pulse SH1 and SH2 were to drive sample-and- hold circuit 412a and 412b sampling simulation input signal, to obtain analog input signal Sa1 and Sb1.
Fig. 7 is the synoptic diagram according to the running of analog-to-digital converter 413 of the present invention and compensator 414.When laser diode 418 was positioned on the kinetic power control zone of laser disc, automatic power control system 400 carried out the automated power control program.When front end detecting diode 410 produces analog input signal, sampling pulse generator 404 produces in the sample-pulse signal SH1 instruction simulation input signal paragraph corresponding to first performance number, and sample-and-hold circuit 412a according to sample-pulse signal SH1 sampling simulation input signal to obtain analog input signal Sa1.When analog input signal Sa1 stablizes, controller 430 activation digitizing drive signal AD_trig, and analog-to-digital converter 413 beginning converting analogue input signal Sa1 are numerical data Sa3.After numerical data Sa3 is stable, controller 430 activations compensation drive signal Ctrl_trig, and compensator 414 beginnings are formed electric current I 1 according to numerical data Sa3 adjustment driving.
Compare with the ADC_area signal whether indication laser shines the automated power control zone, digitizing drive signal AD_trig have one time delay D1.AD_trig compares with the digitizing drive signal, the compensation drive signal have one time delay D2.In an embodiment, time delay, D1 and D2 were zero.In addition, even digitizing drive signal AD_trig does not produce, but still normal operation of automatic power control system 400.In an embodiment, controller 430 only produces the compensating movement of compensation drive signal Ctrl_trig with driving compensator 414, and analog-to-digital converter 413 directly is not converted to Sa3 and Sb3 with simulating signal Sa2 and Sb2 according to the indication of digitizing drive signal AD_trig.
Fig. 8 is the process flow diagram according to the How It Works 500 of compensator 414 of the present invention.When sample-and- hold circuit 412a and 412b sampled data Sa1 and Sb1, analog-to-digital converter 413 produces numerical data Sa3 and Sb3 (step 502) according to data Sa1 and Sb1, and compensator 414 is adjusted driving composition current signal I1~I4 (step 504) according to numerical data Sa3 and Sb3.Otherwise as sample-and- hold circuit 412a and 412b not when sampled data Sa1 and Sb1, analog-to-digital converter 413 does not produce numerical data Sa3 and Sb3 (step 502), and compensator 414 is not adjusted to drive and formed current signal I1~I4 (step 506).In another embodiment, but analog-to-digital converter 413 direct sample analog input signals and not according to the action of sample-and- hold circuit 412a and 412b running, and compensator 414 suspension control signal Ctrl_trig control is formed electric current I 1~I4 to calculate to drive.
Aforementioned automated power control program is that the laser projections sent when laser diode 418 is carried out when (APC area) in the automated power control area.Therefore, aforementioned automated power control program is called as APC area automated power control model.Yet existing automated power control program is that enterprising line data is write fashionable carrying out in the data area, therefore is called as general automated power control model.General automated power control model makes a mistake when can be in the data burning speed of automatic power control system 400 too high.Therefore, the invention provides the method for between APC area automated power control model and general automated power control model, switching.Fig. 9 is the process flow diagram of the method 600 switched according to the present invention between APC area automated power control model and general automated power control model.When the data burning speed of automatic power control system 400 surpasses a boundary value (step 602), just adopt APC area automated power control model (step 602).When the data burning speed of automatic power control system 400 is lower than boundary value (step 602), just adopt general automated power control model (step 606).

Figure 14 is the block diagram according to laser diode drive 200 of the present invention.Laser diode drive 200 comprises a plurality of current amplifiers 202,204,206,208,210 and a totalizer 212.Each current amplifier is corresponding to a certain power value.For instance, current amplifier 202,204,206,208,210 corresponds respectively to readout power, cooling power, deletion power, Writing power and excessive driving power.Compensator 114 produces the driving that corresponds respectively to the different capacity value and forms signal d0, d1, d2, d3, d4.When the driving enable signal OE0 corresponding to readout power was enabled, current amplifier 202 amplifies corresponding to the driving of readout power formed signal d0 to obtain forming current i 0 corresponding to the driving that gets power.Current amplifier 204,206,208,210 operates in the mode that is same as current amplifier 202.Then, totalizer 212 will drive and form current i 0, i1, i2, i3, i4 and add up mutually to obtain a drive current I.Laser diode 214 then produces the laser that has corresponding to the power P of drive current I.For convenience of description, the embodiment of Figure 17~20 only comprises the number of the performance number that is less than Figure 14.
Figure 15 is the synoptic diagram according to the relation between the performance number P of laser of the present invention and driving enable signal OE0~OE4.The power of supposing laser sends readout power P0, excessive driving power P4, th writing power P 3, excessive driving power P4, cooling power P1 and deletion power P 2 sequentially.Readout power P0 need equal to drive the drive current of forming current i 0, therefore drives enable signal OE0 and at first is enabled and has the laser of readout power P0 for generation.Excessively driving power P4 need equal to drive the drive current of the sum total of forming current i 1, i2, i3, i4, therefore drives enable signal OE1, OE2, OE3, OE4 and then is enabled and has the laser of excessive driving power P4 for generation.Th writing power P 3 need equal to drive the drive current of the sum total of forming current i 1, i2, i3, therefore drives enable signal OE1, OE2, OE3 and then is enabled and has the laser of th writing power P 3 for generation.Cooling power P1 need equal to drive the drive current of forming current i 1, therefore drives enable signal OE1 and then is enabled and has the laser of cooling power P1 for generation.At last, deletion power P 2 need equal to drive the drive current of the sum total of forming current i 1, i2, therefore drives enable signal OE1, OE2 and then is enabled and has the laser of deletion power P 2 for generation.
Figure 16 is the block diagram according to compensator 300 of the present invention.Compensator 300 comprises a subtracter 302 and a compensating filter 304.In an embodiment, compensating filter 304 is an integrator.Subtracter 302 deducts a detection signal intensity pi of sample-and-hold circuit 112 generations to obtain a power level difference from a target power value Pi.Compensating filter 304 then drives composition signal di with power level difference integration to obtain one.Detection signal intensity pi, target power value Pi, driving are formed signal di corresponding to cooling power, deletion power, Writing power or excessive driving power.Because there is the frequency range restriction closed loop of automatic power control system, so the power of laser will become and stablely needs some transition times.Set when correct when initial value that drive to form signal di, the transition time can reduce to 0.Yet, drive the initial value of forming signal di and not only determine, more the Temperature Influence of Stimulated Light diode according to detection signal intensity pi, target power value Pi.Therefore need a kind of method that determines initial value.Therefore produce an initial value is delivered to compensator 114 to power initial value design module 120, and compensating filter 304 can begin to drive composition signal di according to initial value output.Follow-up laser diode drive 116 is then formed the laser power P of signal di generation drive current I with control laser diode 118 according to driving.
Figure 17 is the synoptic diagram according to the measured power of 116 emitted laser of laser diode of the present invention.When automatic power control system 106 begins to carry out the automated power control program, CD-ROM device moves to laser diode 118 top, automated power control area of laser disc.Laser diode 118 then penetrates in proper order has the laser of power P 4, P3, P2, P1 in the automated power control area.First performance number is excessive driving power P4, has continued the time of Tp4.Second performance number is th writing power P 3, continued the time of Tp3.The 3rd performance number is deletion power P 2, continued the time of Tp2.The 4th performance number is cooling power P1, continued the time of Tp1.Front end detecting diode 110 is then detected the reflected light of laser to obtain a detecting intensity, and wherein time T p1, Tp2, Tp3, Tp4 all are longer than and allow the time of detecting intensity stabilization.Therefore, compensator 114 can produce corresponding driving composition signal according to detecting intensity.Sample-and-hold circuit 112 obtains detecting intensity level p1, p2, p3, the p4 corresponding to performance number P1, P2, P3, P4 according to sampling pulse sampling detecting intensity, and compensator 114 produces to drive according to detecting intensity level p1, p2, p3, p4 and forms signal d0, d1, d2, d3, d4 producing the drive current I of laser diode drive 116, thereby makes laser diode 118 produce a laser.

Among Figure 17,18 the embodiment, CD-ROM device 100 produces the laser of three kinds or four kinds performance numbers for power calculation.Sample-and-hold circuit 112 is then taken a sample corresponding to four kinds or three kinds of detection signal intensity of these performance numbers.Yet compensator 114 must be only produces five kinds according to four kinds or three kinds of detection signal intensity and drives and form signal d0, d1, d2, d3, d4.With reference to figure 1, the relation of drive current and laser power is determined by slope s (T) and difference electric current I th (T) under a specified temp T.Therefore, automatic power control system 106 can determine slope s (T) and difference electric current I th (T) according to the detection signal intensity of sample-and-hold circuit 112 samplings, and estimates that according to slope s (T) and difference electric current I th (T) all five of a corresponding certain power value drive composition signal magnitude d0, d1, d2, d3, d4.In an embodiment, it is as follows to estimate to drive the formula of forming signal magnitude d0, d1, d2, d3, d4 according to slope s (T) and difference electric current I th (T):
P0=(i0-Ith(T))×s(T);
P1=(i1-Ith(T))×s(T);
P2=P1+i2×s(T);
P3=P2+i3×s(T);
P4=P3+i4×s(T)
