1-2. ALPC (Automatic Laser Power Control) Circuit ALPC function DVD/CD anlaog front-end IC(IC101 HD153722TF) is for constant power control purpose. Based on the accurate power sensor(FMON) in P/U, ALPC feedback loop maintains constant power level against laser diode’s temperature variation. The ALPC loop amplifies(10x) the FMON signal to enhance the accuracy of read power level control.

3-2-1. Tracking Servo The aim of tracking servo is to make laser beam trace the data track on disc. Tracking Error(TE) Signal is generated from tracking error detected block in HD153722 using DPP(Differential Push-Pull) Method(CD) and PP(Push-Pull) Method(DVD). DPP Method uses not only main beam(EF1~EF4) but also side beam(E, F) for correcting DC offset generated in Push-Pull Method.
