Signal processing apparatus and method for an optical disc drive

摘要

A signal processing apparatus includes sample and hold units for holding a plurality of analog photo diode signals. A signal holding controller generates control signals to the sample and hold units for holding the analog photo diode signals. Analog adjusting modules adjust the held analog photo diode signals. A multiplexer selectively couples one input end of the multiplexer to the output end of the multiplexer for outputting the adjusted analog photo diode signals. An analog to digital converter converts the adjusted analog photo diode signals into digital photo diode signals.
