DEVICE FOR REDUCING POWER CONSUMPTION OF OPTICAL DRIVE AND METHOD FOR THE SAME

摘要

A device and method for reducing power consumption of an optical drive are proposed. The present invention samples a carrier control signal and then compares the samples of the signals with predetermined threshold signals. According to the comparison result, the present invention produces at least one diphase excitation control signal. The diphase excitation control signal comprises at least one impulse signal, and a negative edge of the impulse signal is adjusted to a predetermined level during the period of the diphase excitation control signal. The present invention reduces the time for outputting the control signals and greatly reduces the power consumption of the optical drive thereby.
