Abstract
An apparatus and method detecting synchronization of address in pre-groove (ADIP), allowing an optical storage device to write data to an accurate location of a disc includes a bit synchronization detecting unit and a word synchronization detecting unit. The bit synchronization detecting unit determines synchronization of bits of the ADIP to be in a bit synchronization locked state when synchronization of raw bits is detected within a bit synchronization window having a first predetermined period a first predetermined number of consecutive times. The word synchronization detecting unit determines synchronization of words of the ADIP to be in a word synchronization locked state when synchronization of raw words is detected within a word synchronization window having a second predetermined period the first predetermined number of consecutive times.
