Description of Operation
1. APC (auto laser power control)
This circuit controls the pickup laser power. The laser is turned on and off by commands from the microprocessor.

2. RF amplifier (eye pattern output)

The pickup photodiode output current (A + C) is input to FIN2 (pin 1), and (B + D) is input to FIN1 (pin 2). The current that
is input is converted to the voltage, passes through the AGC circuit, and is then output from the RFSM amplifier output
RFSM (pin 41). The internal AGC circuit has a variable range of ±3 dB, and the time constant can be changed through the
external capacitor connected to PH1 (pin 60). In addition, this circuit also controls the bottom level of the EFM signal
(RFSM output), and the response can be changed through the external capacitor connected to BH1 (pin 61). The center gain
setting for the AGC variable range is set by the resistance between RFSM (pin 41) and RFS− (pin 42); if necessary, this
resistance is also used for 3T compensation for the EFM signal.

3. SLC (slice level control)

The SLC sets the duty ratio for the EFM signal that is input to the DSP to 50%. The DC level is determined by integrating
the EFMO signal output from the DSP to determine the duty factor.
4. Focus servo
The focus error signal is derived by detecting the difference between (A + C) and (B + D), which is (B + D) − (A + C), and
is then output from FE (pin 20). The focus error signal gain is set by the resistance between FE (pin 20) and FE− (pin 21).
Offset cancellation is performed by the FE amplifier. ‘‘Offset cancellation’’ cancels the offset for the IC’s internal IV
amplifier, etc. Adjustment is initiated by the FOCUS-OFFSET ADJUST START command, and terminates after about 30 ms.
The FOCUS-OFFSET ADJUST OFF command is used to return to the state before offset cancellation.
The FA amplifier is the pickup phase compensation amplifier, and the equalizer curve is set by the external capacitor and
resistance. Furthermore, this amplifier has a mute function which is applied when VCC is turned on, when the F-SERVO OFF
command is sent, and during F-SEARCH. In order to turn the focus servo on, send either the LASER ON command or the
F-SERVO ON command.
The FD amplifier has a phase compensation circuit, and a focus search signal composition function and is completed in about
560 ms. Focus search is initiated by the F-SEARCH command, and a ramp waveform is generated by the internal clock. This
waveform is used for focus detection (focus zero cross) with the focus error signal and then turn the focus servo on. The
ramp waveform amplitude is set by the resistance between FD (pin 16) and FD− (pin 17).
FSC (pin 46) is for smoothing the focus search ramp waveforms, and a capacitor is connected between FSC and REF.
FSS (pin 55) is the focus search mode switching pin. If FSS is shorted with VCC, the ‘‘+ search’’ is set; if FSS is left open or
is shorted with GND, the ‘‘± search’’ is set.
5. Tracking servo
The pickup photodiode output current is input to E (pin 3) and F (pin 4). The current that is input is converted to the voltage,
passes through the balance adjustment VCA circuit and then the VCA circuit that follows the gain in the RFAGC circuit, and
is then output from TE (pin 7). The tracking error gain is set by the resistance between TE− (pin6) and TE (pin7).
Offset cancellation is performed by the TE amplifier. Offset cancellation terminates after about 30 ms. The TRACK-OFFSET
ADJUST OFF command is used to return to the state before the offset.
The TH amplifier alters the servo response characteristics according to the THLD signal, etc., generated internally after
detection of the TGL signal from the DSP or the JP signal. When a defect is detected, the THLD mode goes into effect
internally. To avoid this, short DEF (pin 49) to L = GND. By inserting an external bandpass filter to remove the shock
component from the tracking error signal at SCI (pin 9), the gain is automatically boosted when a defect is detected.
The TA output (pin 11) has a built-in resistance to allow configuration of a low-pass filter.
The TD amplifier performs servo loop phase compensation; the characteristics are set by external CR. Furthermore, this
amplifier has a mute function, which is applied when VCC is turned on or the TRACK-SERVO OFF command is issued. The
muting function is released by the TRACK-SERVO ON command.
The TOFF amplifier that is positioned immediately after TD (pin 13) functions to turn off the servo in response to the TOFF
signal from the DSP.
The TO amplifier has a JP pulse composition function. The JP pulse is set by JP (pin 14). (THLD detection is performed
internally.)

6. Sled servo
The response characteristics are set by SLEQ (pin 28). The amplifier positioned after SLEQ (pin 28) has a mute function that
is applied either when SLOF (pin 38) goes high or the SLED OFF command is issued. The sled is moved by inputting
current to SL− (pin 30) and SL+ (pin 31); specifically, the pins are connected to the microprocessor output ports via resistors,
and the movement gain is set by the resistance value of that resistor. It is important to note that if there is a deviation in the
resistance values for SL− (pin 30) and SL+ (pin 31), an offset will arise in the SLD output.

7. Spindle servo
This configures the servo circuit, which maintains the linear velocity of the disc at a constant speed, along with the DSP. This
circuit accepts signals from the DSP through CV− (pin 39) and CV+ (pin 40) and sets the equalizer characteristics through SP
(pin 24), SP− (pin 26), and SPD (pin 27), which are output to SPD (pin 27). The 12-cm mode amplifier gain is set by the
resistor connected between SPG (pin 25) and the reference voltage. In 8-cm mode, this amplifier serves as an internal buffer,
and SPG (pin 25) is ignored. Note that the gain setting is made for 8-cm mode first, and then 12-cm mode. If SPG (pin 25)
is left open, the gain is forcibly set for 8-cm mode, regardless of whether 8-cm or 12-cm mode is in effect.

8. TES and HFL (traverse signals)

When moving the pickup from the outer track to the inner track, the EF output from the pickup must be connected so that the
phase relationship of TES and HFL is as shown in the diagram below. For the TESI input, the TES comparator has negative
polarity and hysteresis of approximately ±100 mV. An external bandpass filter is needed in order to extract only the required
signal from the TE signal.

9. DRF (luminous energy determination)

DRF goes high when the peak of the EFM signal (RFSM output) held by the PH1 (pin 60) capacitor exceeds approximately
2.1 V. The PH1 (pin 60) capacitor affects the DRF detection time constant and the RFAGC response bidirectional setting. The
DRF output is driven by a constant current (250 µA).

10. Focus determination

Focus is assumed to be obtained when the focus error signal S curve reaching REF + 0.2 V is detected, and the S curve
subsequently returns to REF.

11. DEFECT
The mirrored surface level is maintained by the capacitor for LF2 (pin 59); when a drop in the EFM signal (RFSM output)
reaches 0.35 V or more, a high signal is output to DEF (pin 49). If DEF (pin 49) goes high, the tracking servo enters THLD
mode. In order to prevent the tracking servo from entering THLD mode when a defect is detected, prevent DEFECT from
being output by either shorting DEF (pin 49) to GND, or shorting LF2 (pin 59) to GND. The DEFECT output is driven by
constant current (approximately 100 µA).

12. Microprocessor interface

Because the Reset (Nothing) command initializes the LA9241M, it must be used carefully.
The LA9241M command acceptance (mode switching) timing is defined by the internal clock (4.23 MHz divided to 130 kHz)
after the falling edge of CE (RWC); therefore, when commands are sent consecutively, CE must go low for at least 10 µsec.
The 4.23 MHz clock is required for that reason. 2BYTE-COMMAND DETECT and 2BYTE-COMMAND RESET are used
only for the purpose of masking two-byte data.
All instructions can be input by setting CE high and sending commands synchronized with the CL clock from the
microprocessor to DAT (pin 52) in LSB first format. Note that the command is executed at the falling edge of CE.

Timing

* The DSP pin names are shown in parentheses.

13. Reset circuit

The power-on reset is released when VCC exceeds approximately 2.6 V.

14. Pattern design notes

To prevent signal jump-in from CV+ (pin 40) to RFSM (pin 41), a shielding line is necessary in between.

Notes Concerning Microprocessor Program Creation

1. Commands
After sending the FOCUS START command and the E/F BALANCE START command, send 11111110 (FEH) in order to
clear the internal registers of the IC.
Reason: Although the above commands are executed at point 1 in the timing chart below, the same commands will be
executed again at point 2 if there is subsequent input to CE as shown below.
Timing

2 µs or more 2 µs or more 10 µs or more

1 µs or more

1 µs or more

‘‘FOCUS START’’ command

‘‘E/F BALANCE START’’ command

When sending a TRACK-OFFSET ADJUST START command or a FOCUS-OFFSET ADJUST START command after either
VCC ON (POWER ON RESET), RESET command, or a corresponding OFFSET ADJUST OFF command, waiting time is
necessary as listed below. (Only when a 4.2 MHz clock is input.)
TRACK-OFFSET ADJUST START: 4 ms or more
FOCUS-OFFSET ADJUST START: 4 ms or more

2. E/F balance adjustment

E/F balance adjustments should be made in a bit region of the disc, not a mirrored region.
Since there is no track-kick for LA9241M, measures must be taken during EF balance adjustment to obtain a stable TE
signal. (By a sled movement signal from a microprocessor, for example.)
