Abstract

See full text

A system and method for use in a data storage system which provides a combined phase lock loop (PLL) that utilizes a common Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) and common integrator/loop-filter, but which is operational in a wobble-mode and a data-mode to provide most optimum operation and quick capture. Digital circuitry is primarily used in addition to the VCO and a loop-filter for acquiring frequency and phase lock while the optical disc drive is writing and reading. A digital Phase-detector for operation in the wobble-mode employs a down-counter that can be configured for both Frequency-Lock and Phase-Lock in a way that offers a large capture range and can adapt quickly to the multiple data-zones of the media-format.
