Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Method and device for generating a write clock of a constant angular velocity optical disk device." This invention describes a method for generating a write clock for a constant angular velocity compact storage device. The device includes a counter that generates a count number by referencing a wobble signal. It also features a phase detector that produces an adjustment value by comparing the phase shift between an ATIP synchronization signal and an encoded subcode frame synchronization signal. The invention aims to ensure that the reference write clock is used effectively, especially when the phase shift is within a predetermined value.
Another significant patent is the "Method and related device for achieving stable writing state of compact disk drive by adjusting writing clock." This invention provides a method and circuit for synchronizing a writing clock with a wobble clock in a compact disk (CD) drive. The CD drive can rotate a CD with a data track and a wobble track, generating a wobble clock based on the movement of the wobble track. The method involves adjusting the frequency of the writing clock to ensure synchronization with the wobble clock, thereby improving data writing accuracy.
