No.5189 - 6/20 LA9230M/9231M Test Circuit Descriptions enclosed in dotted lines or brackets apply to the LA9231M only. LA9230M/LA9231M No.5189 - 7/20 LA9230M/9231M Description of Operation 1. APC (auto laser power control) This circuit controls the pickup laser power. The laser is turned on and off by commands from the microprocessor. 2. RF amplifier (eye pattern output) The pickup photodiode output current (A + C) is input to FIN2 (pin 1), and (B + D) is input to FIN1 (pin 2). The current that is input is converted to the voltage, passes through the AGC circuit, and is then output from the RFSM amplifier output RFSM (pin41). The internal AGC circuit has a variable range of ±3 dB, and the time constant can be changed through the external capacitor connected to PH1 (pin 60). In addition, this circuit also controls the bottom level of the EFM signal (RFSM output), and the response can be changed through the external capacitor connected to BH1 (pin 61). The center gain setting for the AGC variable range is set by the resistance between RFSM (pin 41) and RFS− (pin 42); if necessary, this resistance is also used for 3T compensation for the EFM signal. 3. SLC (slice level control) The SLC sets the duty ratio for the EFM signal that is input to the DSP to 50%. The DC level is determined by integrating the EFMO signal output from the DSP to determine the duty factor. 4. Focus servo The focus error signal is derived by detecting the difference between (A + C) and (B + D), which is (B + D) − (A + C), and is then output from FE (pin 20). The focus error signal gain is set by the resistance between FE (pin 20) and FE− (pin 21). The FA amplifier is the pickup phase compensation amplifier, and the equalizer curve is set by the external capacitor and resistance. Furthermore, this amplifier has a mute function which is applied when VCC is turned on, when the F-SERVO OFF command is sent, and during F-SEARCH. In order to turn the focus servo on, send either the LASER ON command or the F-SERVO ON command. The FD amplifier has a phase compensation circuit, a focus search signal composition function, and an offset cancellation function. Focus search is initiated by the F-SEARCH command, and a ramp waveform is generated by the internal clock. This waveform is used for focus detection (focus zero cross) with the focus error signal and then turn the focus servo on. The ramp waveform amplitude is set by the resistance between FD (pin 16) and FD− (pin 17). Offset cancellation cancels the IC offset; adjustment is started by the FOCUS-OFFSET ADJUST START command, and is completed in about 250 ms. To cancel even the offset for the IV amplifier, etc., it is necessary to send the F-SERVO ON (LASER OFF) command. The FOCUS-OFFSET ADJUST OFF command is used to return to the state prior to offset cancellation. For the LA9231M, FCS (pin 46) is for smoothing the focus search ramp waveforms, and a capacitor is connected between FSC and VR. 5. Tracking servo The pickup photodiode output current is input to E (pin 3) and F (pin 4). The current that is input is converted to the voltage, passes through the balance adjustment VCA circuit and then the VCA circuit that follows the gain in the RFAGC circuit, and is then output from TE (pin 7). The tracking error gain is set by the resistance between TE− (pin6) and TE (pin7). The TA output (pin 11) has a built-in resistance to allow configuration of a low-pass filter. The TH amplifier alters the servo response characteristics according to the THLD signal, etc., generated internally after detection of the TGL signal from the DSP or the JP signal. When a defect is detected, the THLD mode goes into effect internally. To avoid this, short DEF (pin 49) to L = GND. By inserting an external bandpass filter to remove the shock component from the tracking error signal at SCI (pin 9), the gain is automatically boosted when a defect is detected. The TD amplifier performs servo loop phase compensation; the characteristics are set by external CR. Furthermore, this amplifier has a mute function, which is applied when VCC is turned on or the TRACK-SERVO OFF command is issued. The muting function is released by the TRACK-SERVO ON command. The TOFF amplifier that is positioned immediately after TD (pin 13) functions to turn off the servo in response to the TOFF signal from the DSP. The TO amplifier has a JP pulse composition function and a tracking offset cancellation function. The JP pulse is set by JP (pin 14). (THLD detection is performed internally.) Offset cancellation is completed in about 30 ms. The TRACK-SERVO ON command and setting the TOFF pin (pin 35) low are required for offset cancellation. Note: The LC78620E TOFF ON/OFF command is valid only when disc motor control is in CLV mode. Accordingly, tracking offset is cancelled in normal CLV mode. Note that when performed in STOP mode, external control of the TOFF pin is required. 6. Sled servo The response characteristics are set by SLEQ (pin 28). The amplifier positioned after SLEQ (pin 28) has a mute function that is applied either when SLOF (pin 38) goes high or the SLED OFF command is issued. The sled is moved by inputting current to SL− (pin 30) and SL+ (pin 31); specifically, the pins are connected to the microprocessor output ports via resistors, and the movement gain is set by the resistance value of that resistor. It is important to note that if there is a deviation in the resistance values for SL− (pin 30) and SL+ (pin 31), an offset will arise in the SLD output. 7. Spindle servo The Configures this servo circuit, which maintains the linear velocity of the disc at a constant speed, along with the DSP. This circuit accepts signals from the DSP through CV− (pin 39) and CV+ (pin 40) and sets the equalizer characteristics through SP (pin 23), SP− (pin 36), and SPD (pin 27), which are output to SPD (pin 27). The 12-cm mode amplifier gain is set by the resistor connected between SPG (pin 25) and the reference voltage. In 8-cm mode, this amplifier serves as an internal buffer, and SPG (pin 25) is ignored. Note that the gain setting is made for 8-cm mode first, and then 12-cm mode. If SPG (pin 25) is left open, the gain is forcibly set for 8-cm mode, regardless of whether 8-cm or 12-cm mode is in effect. No.5189 - 8/20 LA9230M/9231M 8. TES and HFL (traverse signals) When moving the pickup from the outer track to the inner track, the EF output from the pickup must be connected so that the phase relationship of TES and HFL is as shown in the diagram below. For the TESI input, the TES comparator has negative polarity and hysteresis of approximately ±100 mV. An external bandpass filter is needed in order to extract only the required signal from the TE signal. 9. DRF (luminous energy determination) DRF goes high when the peak of the EFM signal (RFSM output) held by the PH1 (pin 60) capacitor exceeds approximately 2.1 V. The PH1 (pin 60) capacitor affects the DRF detection time constant and the RFAGC response bidirectional setting. Pickup position Focus 10. Focus determination Focus is assumed to be obtained when the focus error signal S curve reaching REF + 0.2 V is detected, and the S curve subsequently returns to REF. Focus No.5189 - 9/20 LA9230M/9231M 11. DEFECT The mirrored surface level is maintained by the capacitor for LF2 (pin 59); when a drop in the EFM signal (RFSM output) reaches 0.35 V or more, a high signal is output to DEF (pin 49). If DEF (pin 49) goes high, the tracking servo enters THLD mode. In order to prevent the tracking servo from entering THLD mode when a defect is detected, prevent DEFECT from being output by either shorting DEF (pin 49) to GND, or shorting LF2 (pin 59) to GND. The DEFECT output is driven by constant current (approximately 100 µA). EFM signal (RFSM output) LF2 (pin 59) DEF (pin 49) 12. Microprocessor interface Because the Reset (Nothing) command initializes the LA9230M and the LA9231M, it must be used carefully. The LA9230M/LA9231M command acceptance (mode switching) timing is defined by the internal clock (4.23 MHz divided to 130 kHz) after the falling edge of CE (RWC); therefore, when commands are sent consecutively, CE must go low for at least 10 µsec. / The 4.23 MHz clock is required for that reason. 2BYTE-COMMAND DETECT and 2BYTE-COMMAND RESET are used only for the purpose of masking two-byte data. All instructions can be input by setting CE high and sending commands synchronized with the CL clock from the microprocessor to DAT (pin 52) in LSB first format. Note that the command is executed at the falling edge of CE. Timing *The DSP pin names are shown in parentheses. 13. Reset circuit The power-on reset is released when VCC exceeds approximately 2.8 V. 14. Pattern design notes To prevent signal jump-in from CV+ (pin 40) to RFSM (pin 41), a shielding line is necessary in between. 15.

Commands After sending the FOCUS START command and the E/F BALANCE START command, send 11111110 (FEH) in order to clear the internal registers of the IC. Reason: Although the above commands are executed at point 1 in the timing chart below, the same commands will be executed again at point 2 if there is subsequent input to CE as shown below. Timing 2 µs or more 2 µs or more 10 µs or more 1 µs or more 1 µs or more ‘‘FOCUS START’’ command ‘‘E/F BALANCE START’’ command When sending a TRACK-OFFSET ADJUST START command or a FOCUS-OFFSET ADJUST START command after either VCC ON (POWER ON RESET), RESET command, or a corresponding OFFSET ADJUST OFF command, waiting time is necessary as listed below. (Only when a 4.2 MHz clock is input.) TRACK-OFFSET ADJUST START: 4 ms or more FOCUS-OFFSET ADJUST START: 30 ms or more 2. E/F balance adjustment E/F balance adjustments should be made in a bit region of the disc, not a mirrored region. (This is because the E/F balance adjustment entails about 100 to 200 track kicks.) Since there is no track-kick for LA9231M, measures must be taken during EF balance adjustment to obtain a stable TE signal. (By a sled movement signal from a microprocessor, for example.)
