Abstract
An optical drive apparatus includes: a phase-difference detection-signal generating unit that generates PEDr based on PEROd and PEFOd obtained by delaying a phase-lead output signal indicating a phase lead amount of DA with respect to DB and X that is changed to high at a timing at which NAND of the DA and the DB is changed from high to low and changed to low at a timing at which OR of the DA and the DB is changed from high to low, and generates PADr based on PAROd and PAFOd obtained by delaying a phase-lag output signal indicating a phase lag amount of the DA with respect to the DB by a predetermined time and the X; and a DPD signal generating unit that generates a phase difference signal indicating a phase difference between the DA and the DB based on the PEDr and the PADr, and generates a DPD signal based on the phase difference signal.
