A pointing device including a touching surface, a light emitting diode, an imaging element, and a first light control part. A fingertip is placed on the touching surface. The light emitting diode illuminates the touching surface from a side opposite to a side where the fingertip is placed. The imaging element receives light reflected from the fingertip. The first light control part controls light, which is emitted from the light emitting diode and reaches the touching surface, so that the light is evenly incident to the touching surface. The pointing device improves detection accuracy and prevents malfunctions, even when there is deviation in an output from a light source. In addition, an electronic apparatus including an input device can be provided.

The present invention provides a digital signal processing apparatus and a method for controlling the apparatus that allow for a reduction of circuit size to minimize an increase in power consumption and the costs of circuitry and an improvement in signal processing speed. To achieve this, the present invention eliminates a circuit arrangement that was conventionally required for executing a compare instruction, conditional jump instruction, and jump instruction, by adding a relatively small-sized circuit such as an encoder for processing an external signal and a capability of decoding a condition determination data select instruction.

In an optical disk drive having the structure of rotating an optical disk under the alternative control of CAV or CLV, when the optical disk is rotated under the CLV control, the loop gains for at least one of the focus servo system and the tracking servo system for controlling the operation of the pickup of the optical disk drive are adjusted based on angular velocity detected by an angular velocity detector which is also used for rotating the optical disk under the CAV control, and, when the optical disk is rotated under the CAV control, the loop gains for at least one of the focus servo system and the tracking servo system are adjusted based on linear velocity detected by a linear velocity detector which is also used for rotating the optical disk under CLV control. The above structure enables the effective saving of electricity and cost in the optical disk drive.

Signal processing apparatus

A signal processing apparatus in which an LSI includes a memory and a plurality of blocks for making access to the memory is provided with a trace control block for tracing in a specific region of the memory the history of access by a required memory access block based on a setting by a microcomputer so as to allow easy analysis of the cause in the event a trouble. Also, a quasi mediation block is provided in a mediation block which accepts a memory use request signal from other memory access block while tracing of access history is being performed and sends back a memory use approval signal without actually making access to an internal memory In the event of a trouble, an analysis of the cause can be easily made by reading a specific tracing region of the internal memory out from outside.

A data error correction apparatus includes sixteen units of syndrome calculators for calculating syndromes of one code word of an octuple error correcting Reed-Solomon code, and these calculators comprise Galois field adders, flip-flops, and first constant multipliers for calculating elements of Galois field, respectively. Further, some of these syndrome calculators are provided with second constant multipliers for calculating elements of Galois field, and selectors for selecting either the first constant multipliers or the second constant multipliers, thereby realizing syndrome calculators capable of simultaneously processing eight code words of a single error correcting Reed-Solomon code. Therefore, the number&excl;of code words to be processed in parallel in syndrome calculation for an error correcting code having relatively low error-correcting ability is increased by effectively utilizing the syndrome calculators for an error correcting code having relatively high error-correcting ability, whereby high-speed error correction is realized.
