Abstract

PURPOSE:To avoid the deterioration of reliability for the detection of a track even at a high-speed detection mode by driving a pulse generating means with the edge of a read reproduction signal undergone the shaping of waveform at a level higher than the threshold value only when the reading position exists on a track and therefore attaining the expression in a binary form. CONSTITUTION:A waveform shaping means 100 has the prescribed threshold value with a voltage source 300. A single pulse generating means 200 is driven by the edge of the output signal of the means 100. In case the reading position is set between the tracks, no signal is delivered since the level of the means 100 does not exceed its threshold value. In this case, the output potential is reset to its original level to detect an area between tracks in case the time taut is longer than the duration time taup of the pulse generated from the means 200. The read reproduction signal does not act as noise since it is changed into a rectangular wave. Thus the track can be retrieved at a high speed. The signal is produced once when an area between the tracks is crossed. Thus it is possible to detect the area between the tracks with high reliability.

The following methods are available for realizing high-speed search, which is one of the characteristics of discs. When searching for a track containing the desired information, know the number of tracks that exist between the initial reading position and the target track, and then move the reading position while counting the tracks that are currently being crossed. and reach the desired track. This means is called a track counter, and if the tracks crossed during the search can be detected without error,
It can be said that this is a means that can detect a target track at extremely high speed. In other words, the success or failure of the track counter depends on how reliably the inter-track detection is performed.

As a result of removing the high frequency and DC bias components by the bandpass filter 110, a signal that fluctuates around the ground potential according to the waveform envelope shown in FIG. 2(a) is obtained. Depending on the magnitude of this signal and the ground potential, the comparator 111 outputs a rectangular wave signal as shown in FIG. 2(C). Even when the signal detection position is constantly on the track, the low frequency component of the read and reproduced signal mixes as noise into the pass band of the band pass filter 1100, so that the comparing means 111 operates. Gate circuit 11
2 serves to transfer the output of the comparing means 111 to the subsequent circuit only during track searching.

By the way, in the above-mentioned conventional configuration, since noise is always mixed in the passband of the bandpass filter 110 as described above, the wider the passband is, the more the S/R of inter-track detection becomes
N gets worse. This means that if the moving speed of the detection position is increased to perform a high-speed track search, the fluctuation frequency of the envelope of the signal shown in Figure 2 (a), which is the target of extraction, will inevitably become higher. The passband of the bandpass filter 110 must be widened, and therefore inter-track detection is performed with a low S/N ratio, which lowers the reliability of inter-track detection during high-speed search. That is, as shown in FIG. 2(c), when the comparator 111 performs waveform shaping, chattering may occur and an erroneous inter-track detection signal may be output. Also, comparison means 11
1 operates even when the detection position is constantly on the track, as mentioned earlier, it is necessary to carefully open and close the gate circuit 112 at the timing shown in FIG. 2(d). Another problem was that the control circuit became complicated.

...It is at a potential expressed by (2). Here, Y
DD is a constant voltage. Therefore, feedback is applied so that the reproduced signal punching means 104 follows the response frequency fCA so that the negative phase input terminal of the operational amplifier 14 is always at vA. As a result, the output voltage (71)C of the operational amplifier 14
2 is applied as a bias to the input of the comparison means 1Q1 with a fixed threshold level, causing the read reproduction signal to rise or fall with respect to the threshold level, so that the output of the comparison means 101 TA=
The average value between 1/fA is controlled to always be vA. Figure 7 (
, ) is indicated by a broken line. 4. Here, consider the case where a track search is executed (hereinafter referred to as state B). In this case, since the reading position crosses between tracks, the read reproduction signal fluctuates as shown in FIG. 7(a). Let us consider a case where the moving speed of the reading position is sufficiently faster than the response of the reproduced signal punching means 104 and a case where it is sufficiently large.

In the former case, as shown by the broken line in Figure 7(a),
- Since the punching level also follows the decrease in the level of the read reproduction signal when the reading position crosses between tracks, even a noise level signal can be punched, as shown by the broken line in Figure (b). The signal is extracted and output as a rectangular wave, and as a result, the area between tracks is not detected as a no-signal portion. In addition, even if the moving speed of the reading position is sufficiently fast and the punching level does not follow the level fluctuation of the reading reproduction signal, feedback is applied so that the average value of the signal after punching always becomes the reference voltage. In the end, as shown by the broken line in FIG. 8(a) and FIG. 8(b), the punching level follows so as to fill in the gaps between the tracks, and the gaps between the tracks are not detected.

Now, when transitioning from state A to state B, this situation can be avoided by opening switch 22 and switch 24. That is, by opening the switch 24, the response frequency of the reproduced signal punching means 104 written in equation (1) becomes fCB expressed by the following equation, fcB=GOGF/2πC13(R12+R23).
...--: (3) It is possible to slow down the followability, and therefore, as mentioned above, the punching level does not follow the level fluctuation of the read reproduction signal when it crosses between tracks [Fig. 7 ( (a) Solid line] The area between tracks can be detected as a no-signal area. Furthermore, by opening the switch 22, the reference voltage becomes VB=VpD-R11/(R1°+R11+R21) as shown in FIG. 7(C).
"""('). This is because the reference voltage is set low in advance, assuming that the average value of the shaped waveform of the read and reproduced signal will decrease as a whole if no signal is detected between tracks. By doing this, the above-mentioned ``feedback'' that embeds the tracks does not occur, and therefore the spaces between the tracks are always empty as shown in FIG. 7(b) or FIG. 8(C). It will be detected as a signal part.

The edges of the thus shaped read and reproduced signal drive the single pulse generating means 200. Single pulse generating means 20
If the width of the pulse emitted from 0 is set sufficiently longer than the maximum edge interval of the read reproduction signal, when the read position as shown in Fig. 7 (b) and Fig. 8 (C) first crosses the track. As a result, if the no-signal portion between tracks is longer than the maximum edge interval, the shaping waveform generated only by A clearly distinguishable signal can be obtained.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the comparison means 101 punches the read reproduction signal at an appropriate threshold level, and the feedback means 102 determines the threshold level while comparing the average value of the output with the reference voltage. By adding a constant switching circuit 103i that lowers the response frequency and changes the reference voltage when searching for a track to the reproduced signal punching means 104 configured as shown in FIG. re-trigger type pulse generating means 20 which generates a signal having a pulse width of an appropriate length using the signal.
0 and connects all the shaping signals when the reading position is on the track, the pulse generating means 2 determines whether the reading position is on the track or between the tracks.
It can be clearly distinguished by the level of 00 output. Furthermore, although the circuit has a reproduction signal punching means 104'ii that can determine the threshold level by the feedback means 102 in order to cope with variations in the read reproduction signal due to differences in recording media, the above circuit is used when normally reproducing information on a track. Therefore, when performing a track search, only the constant switching circuit 103 and the single pulse generation means 200, which are composed of only a few switches and resistors, are required, and therefore the configuration can be very economical. A track-to-track detection device can be realized.
