1. iD PHOTO DISC

1-1. iD PHOTO DISC HIGH-DENSITY TECHNOLOGY

The iD Photo Disc has a diameter of 5 centimeters and yet it can store up to 730MB of information. A laser pulse magnetic field modulation recording method and CAD-type ultra-high magnetic resolution method have been used to record data at a track pitch of 0.6 µm and an extremely short mark length of 0.235 µ, which is smaller than the spot diameter of the laser beam.

1-2. LASER PULSE MAGNETIC FIELD MODULA TION

RECORDING METHOD

The beam which is generated by the laser pickup in the iD Photo disc drive focuses onto the disc recording medium as

a spot with a diameter of about 1 µm. During recording, a mark with a diameter of 0.235 µm -- which is smaller than the diameter of the laser beam spot-- is recorded. A “laser pulse magnetic field modulation” recording method has been adopted in order to achieve this. This recording method involves firstly a magnetic head which applies a magnetic field which is modulated in accordance with the data supplied externally which is to be recorded. In this state, the laser beam is directed to the reverse side of the disc. The radiated light within an 0.6 µm-diameter area at the center of the beam spot is momentarily heated to a temperature of around 200 degrees. The data is then recorded by means of the resulting change in the magnetic polarity of the recording layer. The recording mark which is made by this pulse-type laser beam is accurately formed in the track at a diameter of 0.6 µm. The rotation of the disc causes each recording mark to overlap the preceding mark at a point 0.235 µm forward of the preceding mark. As a result, the circles formed according to the state of the laser beam move along and leaves a continuous series of minute crescent-shaped marks 0.235 µm across. These marks are approximately one-quarter the size of the recording marks which are made on other media such as CDs and MOs. The iD Photo disc is a magneto-optical disc which records data uses the principle of applying magnetism and temperature sumultaneously so that the recording medium can maintain its magnetic polarity. Because of this, the data cannnot be erased simply by placing the disc within a magnetic field, and moreover the recording method does not result in any changes to the physical nature of the disc. This means that stable characteristics can be maintained for respected disc writing operations.

1-3. CAD ULTRA-HIGH MAGNETIC RESOLUTION

METHOD

In order to play back the extremely small marks which have been recorded using laser pulse magnetic field modulation, the iD Photo disc uses a ultra-high magnetic resolution method which incorporates CAD (Center Aperture Detection). Ultra-high magnetic resolution is a form of technology in which a magnetic signal taken from only the center of the spot is extracted for playback. The iD Photo disc has a multi-layered structure which comprises a polycarbonate substrate, upon which is the playback layer with magnetic characteristics, a recording layer which stores the data, and finally a heat dispersion layer which rapidly allows the spot which has been heated by the laser beam to cool. When data is played back from the disc, the laser beam which is generated by the pickup passes through the polycarbonate substrate to reach the playback layer, and focuses on a 1-µm spot. This playback layer functions as a screen to shield the recording layer on which the data is recorded from the laser beam, so that only a 0.6 µm diameter area at the center of the laser beam which reaches the playback layer passes through it and is projected onto the magnetic recording area of the recording layer by means of an increase in temperature (window). The recorded data can be picked up and read through this “window”, and the surrounding area is shielded. Moreover, in general the spacing between the tracks is narrow and so signal interference from tracks which are next to the track being read can occur. However, CAD-type ultra- high magnetic resolution also solves this interference problem. With CAD-type ultra-high magnetic resolution, only the magnetic signal which passes throught the window at the center of the beam spot is read, so that the playback reading area can be restricted to a very narrow area not only in the tracking direction, but also in the transverse direction. As a result, signal interference is suppressed, and the spacing between the tracks can also be made smaller.

1-4. PRML SIGNAL PROCESSING

When the data on the iD Photo disc is read, the 0.235 µm overlapping recording marks which are made during laser pulse magnetic field modulation recording are read through an 0.6 µm window by means of a CAD-type ultra-high magnetic resolution reading method. Because this window has a diameter of 0.6 µm, at least two or three recording marks can be viewed through this window at any given time. With the iD Photo disc, PRML signal processing has been adopted as the signal processing method for this readable area. PRML signal processing compares the signal wave pattern which is detected when recording marks with several different pattern types pass by the window with the signal wave pattern which is actually obtained by the pickup in order to recreate the data which has actually been recorded. This technology makes it possible to accurately reproduce the recording marks which are smaller than the window being used to read them, and if a signal pattern which is not valid is read, then it is handled as an error. In this way, recording and playback of data at high densities can be couple with high data reliability.

1-5. ZCLV METHOD OF ROTATION CONTROL

A ZCLV (Zoned Constant Linear Velocity) method of rotation control has been adopted for the iD Photo disc. The ZCLV method increases the disc rotation speed on a zone basis in accordance with the progression toward the center of the disc as the speed of rotation of the disc recording surface with respect to the pickup becomes progressively slower. The iD Photo disc is devided into 12 bands from the outside to the inside of the disc surface, and the rotation speed within each band is varied within a range of 1900-3100 rpm in order to maintain the speed of rotation of the recording surface with respect to the pickup to a level of about 5 meters per second.

1-6. EXTERNAL CLOCK SIGNAL

The iD Photo disc uses an external clock method to gener- ate the clock pulses which are used to regulate the timing for reading and writing of data. With conventional methods, the clock pulse is generated based on changes in the data being read. However, with this external clock method, an FCM (Fine Clock Mark) signal is created beforehand and recorded onto the disc for use as a reference signal in order to generate the clock pulse. The timing of this FCM signal is monitored during reading of data in order to control the oscillation frequency of the clock signal generator in accordance with the rotation of the disc. The Fine Clock Mark is engraved accurately onto the disc when the disc is manufactured, and it can then be used as an accurate reference for stable reading and writing.

1. Fine clock mark (FCM)

A computation ((A+B)–(C+D)) is carried out on the signals from the photosensor, after which they pass through the VCA circuit (IC853) and LPF circuit, and then the FCM signal amplitudes pass through the peak hold and bottom hold circuits and are input to the DSP of the ASIC (IC402), where A/D conversion is carried out. At the DSP of the ASIC (IC402), the D/A value of the signal (FCLKGC) which has had the control voltage adjusted by the VCA (IC853) is changed so that the FCM level is set to the level which is necessary for the FCLKNP and FCLKPP signals to be generated. Furthermore, DSP of the ASIC (IC402) and the above circuits set the slice level to 50 % - 70 % of the +/– side FCM marks so that the comparator (IC852) (FCLKPP and FCLKNP) singals do not delay the transfer of the address signals. The above circuits adjust the signals so that the FCM amplitude is at about the same level when at the default recording and playback power. Furthermore, a ratio of 60 % or more between the + side and the – side of the FCM signal is necessary when LAND is on and when GROOVE is on. The DSP controls the control potential of the VCA (IC853) so that the Vpp of the FCM signal is about TYP 1.7 Vp-p. Furthermore, the signal interval for the FCM signals is 532 x 50 ns = 26.6 µs.

TA6015F (optical disc power control (LPC): IC841) and TA6012F (optical disc high speed APC) are used in the pairs. An APC IC appears on the pickup. LPC (IC841) control makes it possible to set characteristics such as playback power, recording peak power, duty, laser on/off setting and low power consumption standby mode using the register settings of the LPC (IC841).

3. BLOCK DIAGRAM OF PLAY/REC AND SIGNAL PROCESS etc.

APC IC (on the pickup)

The APC IC functions to maintain the current detected by the photosensor attached to the laser to a constant level. This has the effect of canceling any fluctuations in characteristics resulting from the semiconductor laser temparature, and any variances in production lots, so that the laser power can be maintained at a stable level. The ON/OFF laser high-frequency currents, power save and laser are output open corrector from LPC IC, and input to APC IC.

Superimposing high-frequency currents

When a high-output semiconductor laser is used, interference can be generated from the light which is reflected back from the disc. Because of this, high-frequency currents of 300-600 MHz are superimposed on the laser drive currnet to reduce interference.

3. IC902, IC904, IC908 (H Driver) and IC907 (V Driver)

An H driver and V driver are necessary in order to generate the clocks (vertical transfer clock, horizontal transfer clock and electronic shutter clock) which driver the CCD. IC902, IC904 and IC908 are inverter IC which drives the horizontal CCDs (H1 and H2). In addition the XV1-XV3 signals which are output from IC102 are the vertical transfer clocks, and the XSG1 and XSG signal which is output from IC102 is superimposed onto XV2A and XV2B at IC907 in order to generate a ternary pulse. In addition, the XSUB signal which is output from IC102 is used as the sweep pulse for the electronic shutter, and the RG signal which is output from IC102 is the reset gate clock.

4. IC905 (CDS, AGC Circuit and A/D Converter)

The video signal which is output from the CCD is input to Pin (30) of IC905. There are S/H blocks inside IC905 generated from the XSHP and XSHD pulses, and it is here that CDS (correlated double sampling) is carried out. After passing through the CDS circuit, the signal passes through the AGC amplifier. It is A/C converted internally into a 10-bit signal, and is then input to IC102 of the CA2 circuit board. The gain of the AGC amplifier is controlled by serial data which is output from IC102 of the CA2 circuit board.

5. Transfer of Electric Charge by the Horizontal CCD

The transfer system for the horizontal CCD emplays a 2-phase drive method. The electric charges sent to the final stage of the horizontal CCD are transferred to the floating diffusion, as shown in Fig. 1-6. RG is turned on by the timing in (1), and the floating diffusion is charged to the potential of PD. The RG is turned off by the timing in (2). In this condition, the floating diffusion is floated at high impedance. The H1 potential becomes shallow by the timing in (3), and the electric charge now moves to the floating diffusion. Here, the electric charges are converted into voltages at the rate of V = Q/C by the equivalent capacitance C of the floating diffusion. RG is then turned on again by the timing in (1) when the H1 potential becomes deep. Thus, the potential of the floating diffusion changes in proportion to the quantity of transferred electric charge, and becomes CCD output after being received by the source follower. The equivalent circuit for the output circuit is shown in Fig. 1-7.

3-2. CA2 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

1. Circuit Description 1-1. Scannning converter (Interlace converter)

1-2. Camera signal processor

This comprises circuits such as the digial clamp circuit, white balance circuit, γcircuit, color signal generation circuit, matrix circuit and horizontal aperture circuit.

1. Digital clamp circuit

The optical black section of the CCD extracts 16-pixel averaged values from the subsequent data to make the black level of the CCD output data uniform for each line. The 16-pixel averaged value for each line is taken as the sum of the value for the previous line multiplied by the coefficient k and the value for the current line multiplied by the coefficient 1-k.

2. White balance circuit

This circuit controls the white balance by using the A WB judgement value computed by the CPU to control the gain for each R, G and B pixel based on the CCD data which has been read.

1-11. LCD driver

The Y/C signals which are input to the LCD driver are converted to RGB signals, and the timing signal which is necessary for LCD monitor display and the RGB signals are then supplied to the LCD monitor.

1-12. LCD monitor

This is the image display device which displays the image signals supplied from the LCD driver.

1-13. UART

This circuit is used for transmitting serial data to a PC. The interface is RS-232C-compatible.

1-14. MJPEG compression

Still and continuous frame data is converted to JPEG format, and movie images are compressed and expanded in MJPEG format.

2. Outline of Operation

When the shutter opens, the reset signals, TEST0, TEST1 and the serial signals (“take a picture” commands) from the 8-bit microprocessor are input and record operation starts. When the TG drives the CCD, picture data passes through the A/D and is then input to the ASIC as 10-bit data. This data then passes through the DCLP, AWB, shutter and γ circuit, after which it is input to the SDRAM. The AWB, shutter, γ, and AGC value are computed from this data, and in case of 1-4 times exposures are made to obtain the optimum picture. The data which has already been stored in the SDRAM is read by the CPU and color generation is carried out. Each pixel is interpolated from the surrounding data as being either R, G or B primary color data to produce R, G and B data. At this time, correction of the lens distortion which is a characteristic of wide-angle lenses is carried out. Aperture correction is carried out, and in case of still picture the data is then compressed by the JPEG method and in case of picture it is compressed by MJPEG method and is transfered to MC3 block. And then it is written to iD photo disc. When the data is to be output to an external device, it is read JPEG picture data from the iD photo disc and output to PC via the USB or IEEE1394.

3. LCD Block

During EE, gamma conversion is carried out for the 10-bit RGB data which is input from the A/D conversion block of the CCD to the ASIC in order that the γrevised can be displayed on the video. The YUV of 640 x 480 is then transferred to the SVRAM. The data which has accumulated in the SDRAM is after D/A conversion is carried out by SDRAM control circuit inside the ASIC, makes Y/C signal, the data is sent to the LCD panel and displayed. If the shutter button is pressed in this condition, the 10-bit data which is output from the A/D conversion block of the CCD is sent to the SDRAM (DMA transfer), and is displayed on the LCD as a freeze-frame image. During playback, the JPEG image data which has accumulated in the iD photo disc is converted to RGB signals. In the same way as for EE, the data is then sent to the SDRAM, after which D/A conversion is carried out inside the ASIC, and then the data is sent to the LCD panel and displayed. The LCD driver is converted Y/C signals to RGB signals from ASIC, and these RGB signals and the control signal which is output by the LCD driver are used to drive the LCD panel. The RGB signals are 1H transposed so that no DC component is present in the LCD element, and the two horizontal shift register clocks drive the horizontal shift registers inside the LCD panel so that the 1H transposed RGB signals are applied to the LCD panel. Because the LCD closes more as the difference in potential between the VCOM (common polar voltage: fixed at DC) and the R, G and B signals becomes greater, the display becomes darker; if the difference in potential is smaller, the element opens and the LCD become brighter. In addition, the brightness and contrast settings for the LCD can be varied by means of the serial data from the ASIC.
