GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Digital Servo Integrated Circuit Silent (DSICS) IC
provides all servo functions except the spindle motor
control in two-stage Compact Disc (CD) systems. It offers
a high degree of integration, combined with the low
additional cost of external components. The servo
characteristics are widely adjustable by means of a
three-wire serial interface, which offers great flexibility for
the application of different CD mechanisms.
The servo chip accepts diode currents and drives various
power stages. Proper functioning of the focus and radial
AGCs requires a digital power stage (SZA1010). It can
drive normal, CDM12-like, mechanisms.
It is the improved version of its predecessor, the DSIC2
(TDA1301).
Features that improve on its predecessor, the TDA1301T:
• Low noise in the focus loop
• Faster serial communication
• Improved jump performance.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Servo input circuits
This IC has been designed for Compact Disc drives for
audio and data applications and uses diode currents as
input signals.
The analog signals from the diode pre-processor are
converted into a digital representation using
analog-to-digital (A/D) converters.

Signal conditioning
The digital codes retrieved from the A/D converters are
connected to a logic circuit, to obtain the various control
signals. The signals from the central aperture detectors
are processed in such a way that the following normalized
focus error signal is generated:

n
D1 D2–
---------------------D1 D2+
D3 D4–
–=
---------------------D3 D4+
where the detector set-up is assumed as shown in Fig.3.
