1. CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
1.1 ANALOG BLOCK (MN2DS0018MA : IC1501)
MN2DS0018MA is a one-chip LSI for a DVD Player. By connecting the LSI with a driver IC, SDRAM, Flash-ROM, Audio-DAC
and so on, a DVD Player system can be established.
The LSI incorporates the Front End (SODC / FE) to process RF signals / servo / decode, AV decoder (Back End / BE) to
process video decode such as MPEG1 / MPEG2 / JPEG and audio decode such as Dolby Digital2/ MP3, and a system
controller to control the system.
The Front End part processes the optical head signal computing and RF signals, the digital signals to play DVD-ROM compliant
with the DVD format (16 - 8 demodulation, error correction), and the digital signals (error correction) for CD-DA / CD-ROM,
as well as conducts AV decoder forwarding, servo control, spindle motor control and seek control.
Please note that in this MN2DS0018MA, the servo-related waveforms in the Front End, such as the waveforms in the FE, TE,
and AS, cannot be observed, as in the case of a DVD mechanism module (LS1) CX-3250.
FRONT END SECTION (MN2DS0018MA : IC1501)
The functions of the analog block are:
1. Reference supply circuit
2. Signal processing circuit for the SERVO system / DPD system
Gain switching amplifier and Low Pass Filter (LPF)
3. RF signal processing circuit
RF addition circuit, Inline circuit, Variable Gain Amplifier (VGA) circuit
4. Laser Power Control (LPC) circuit
5. A/D converter for SERVO (10 bit), DPD system comparator, PWM
1.1.1 APC Circuit
The optical output of a Laser Diode (LD) has large negative temperature characteristics.
Therefore, driving LD with constant current will not get you constant optical output.
The APC circuit controls the current so that the output will be constant using a Monitor Diode (MD).
The MN2DS0018MA incorporates two types of APC circuits; one is for DVD and the other is for CD.
The LD current for a CD is calculated by dividing the measured voltage between CDL1 and 5V by 15 ohm (3.9 ohm × 3 +
3.3 ohm = 15 ohm).
For a DVD, the current is calculated by dividing the measured voltage between DVDL1 and 5V by 12 ohm (3.3 ohm × 2 +
2.7 ohm × 2 = 12 ohm).
The result will be about 50 mA (45 mA) for DVD (CD).
On this or later version of the DVD mechanism module, the Power adjustment circuit (which is the circuit from IMON to CDMP
and DVDMP) that adjusts the optical output of the LD is mounted on the mechanism module board. Therefore, it is required to
adjust power when the CRG mechanism (equipped with the PU unit) or the mechanism module board is replaced.
For details, refer to the Power Adjustment Specifications.

Tracking Error (TE) Generating Circuit
For DVD, using a phase difference method, TE is generated based on a phase difference between (A+C) and (B+D).
For CD, using a three-beam method, TE is generated based on the equation TE = (F+H_G+H) - (E+G_E+F) after going
into the variable amplifier and AD converted.

1.2 SERVO BLOCK (MN2DS0018MA : IC1501)
The servo block performs servo control for focus, tracking, and traverse, spindle motor control and seek control.
1.2.1 Focus Close
For both DVD and CD, the processing sequence after issuing a focus close command will be:
1.2.2 Tracking Close
For both DVD and CD, the processing sequence after issuing a tracking close command will be:
1. Tracking brake
Measuring a 1/2 cycle of track cross, output a brake pulse if the cycle is within the specified range. In which direction
the brake pulse should be output is determined from the phase relation between OFTR and TKC signals (binarized
signal of TE). Once it is confirmed that the swinging of the lens against the disc has been successfully controlled,
stop braking and start pulling in. If the pulling-in conditions are not fulfilled within 10 msec after brake is output, stop
braking and start pulling in.
2. Tracking pulling-in
Process the tracking drive hold with an OFTR signal.
3. Pulling-in check
Check that track jump is less than the specified number within the specified period. The pulling-in check will time out in
8.4 msec and be retried upon receiving a command from the microprocessor.

1. Measurement and optimization of a signal level
Drive the PU lens in the direction to get away from the disc first, and then drive it in the direction to get closer to the disc.
During the process, measure the signal levels of FE, AS, and RFENV when it passes the focusing point.
Optimize the signal levels for FE and AS (See and in the figure).
2. Focus pulling-in
Next, drive the lens in the direction to get away from the disc and detect pulling-in level of FE and AS.
Then, activate the Focus Loop Filter to pull in the focus (See - in the figure).
3. Pulling-in check
Check the focusing with the signal levels of AS and RFENV (See and in the figure).
Using a focus search of test mode, you can check the signal levels of FE, AS, and RFENV as well as focus driving
voltage.

Tracking-on process
1.2.3 Track Jump
The system selects a track jump method according to the target move number of tracks from the following three schemes:
Interval Jump, Multi Jump, and Traverse Seek.
1. Interval Jump
Detailed seek is possible because this scheme repeatedly performs track jump by 1 track. This scheme is selected when
it is close to the target track or it conducts a seek operation to an adjacent track.
2. Multi Jump
It counts the both edges of a Track Cross Signal TKC and moves by the specified number of track count.
It also drives the CRG motor according to the number of jump.
3. Traverse Seek
By counting the track according to the Track Cross Signal TKC and measuring the time of TKC, it controls the movement
speed and performs the seek operation. At the same time, it minimizes the vibration in the pick-up that will occur during
movement.
Here is the common jump switching setting between DVD and CD.

1.2.4 Focus Jump
The function of Focus Jump is for single-sided or double-sided dual layers. The nearer layer from the Objective
Lens is called Layer 0 (L0) and the farther layer called Layer 1 (L1).
Focus Jump is conducted as follows:
1. Open the tracking in the layer currently played.
2. Issue a command to execute jump to the target layer.
3. Close the tracking in the layer after the jump and restart the play.
When a jump command is issued, the processing will be:
1. Accelerate the lens toward a target layer until an FE signal detects the Focus Jump Acceleration End Level.
If the acceleration time-out time is reached before detecting the Acceleration End Level, however, it will forcibly
end the acceleration.
2. Move the lens through inertia until an FE signal detects the Deceleration Start Level without outputting drive voltage.
3. Decelerate the lens once the Deceleration Start Level is detected until it detects the Deceleration End Level.
If the deceleration time-out time is reached before detecting the Deceleration End Level, however, it will forcibly end
the deceleration.
Here are the waveforms of Focus Jump.

The system automates all kinds of circuit adjustment.
The section describes how each automatic adjustment works.
1.3.1 Offset Cancel of VIN7, VIN8, VIN9, and VIN10
Each signal of VIN7 - 9, and 10 from PU will be converted to a digital signal by the AD converter in the servo block.
The Offset Cancel function cancels the input offset of the AD converter when turning the power on.
1.3.2 VCO Gain Adjustment (VARI Adjustment)
The system has the function to automatically adjust VCO gain so that it will be constant by absorbing the variations
from part to part through learning.
To do that, VCO is locked against the reference frequency for learning.
Then, it reads a Frequency Control Value (FCNT) and adjusts the VARI register so that the value will be equal to the
target FCNT value.
1.3.3 FE Normalization Adjustment
The function is to adjust the FE signal level so that the level measured during Focus Close will be 190LSB at the digital
equalizer input stage.

1.3.7 Tracking Balance (TBAL) Adjustment
The function is to vibrate the lens in the direction of track, and using the Newton-Raphson method,
search for the balancing point where DC offset will be zero and adjust it during Focus Close and Tracking Open.
1.3.5 DPD Amplitude Adjustment
The function is to adjust the gain at the analog stage so that the input signal of the DPD comparator of the TE generating
circuit of DVD will be constant.
1.3.6 Tracking Error Amplitude Learning
The function is to vibrate the lens in the direction of track and adjust the TE amplitude level so that it will be
190LSB at the digital equalizer input stage during Focus Close and Tracking Open.
1.3.8 OFTR Adjustment
The function is to adjust the binarization threshold level to binarize an OFTR signal.
1.3.4 Focus Balance (FBAL) Adjustment
The function is to adjust a focus position so that RFENV will be maximized during Focus Close, Tracking Open
and Tracking Close.
1.3.10 Focus Gain Adjustment / Tracking Gain Adjustment
The function is to adjust to the target gain intersection point by injecting disturbance into a Servo Loop during Tracking Close.
1.3.9 AS Normalization Adjustment
The function is to fine-tune the AS signal level so that it will be 64 LSB at the digital equalizer input stage after measuring
the AS signal level by the specified number of sampling and A/D converting it at ADSC during Tracking Close.
All the automatic adjustment results can be checked on the display in a test mode.
