GENERAL DESCRIPTION
TheTZA1015 isa dataamplifierand lasersupply circuitfor
3-beam pick-updetectors foundin awide rangeof CD and
read-only optical systems.
The device contains 6 transimpedance amplifiers to
amplify and filter the focus and radial photo diode voltage
input signals. The preamplifier forms a versatile,
programmable interface from voltage output CD
mechanisms to the Philips’ digital signal processor family.
The dynamic range of this preamplifier/processor
combination can be optimized for the LF servo and RF
data paths. The servo channel gain is set by the ADC
range of the processor. The RF data channel can be
programmed in the TZA1015 preamplifier.
The programmable RF bandwidthallows this device to be
used in CD-A/V applications or CD-R, CD-R/W and
CD-ROM applicationswith adata rate upto amaximum of
30×. The RF and LF gain can be adapted for CD-A/V,
CD-R andCD-ROM discs or CD-R/Wdiscs by meansof a
gain switch. In addition to this gain switch the RF gain is
programmable toguarantee optimal playability.In orderto
enable minimal access time the TZA1015 generates a
Fast Track Count signal which enables the decoder
(ACE or MACE) to count the number of tracks during a
track jump.
The device canaccommodate astigmatic, single Foucault
and double Foucault detectors and can be used with all
laserand N-orP-sub monitordiodes.The AutomaticLaser
Power Control(ALPC) circuit willmaintain controlover the
laser diode current. With an on-chip reference voltage
generator, a constant and stabilized output power is
ensured independent of ageing. Aseparate power supply
connection allows the internal power dissipation to be
reduced by connecting a low voltage supply.
