A brake signal generating circuit and method for improving the efficiency of a lens brake in an optical disc reproducing system are provided. The brake signal generating circuit includes: a brake signal generator which receives a mirror signal that detects the track movement of a main beam and generates a first brake signal or a second brake signal for selecting predetermined operation mode signals in response to a first brake selection signal; a first operation mode generator which generates a processing value of the gain and phase of a tracking error as a first operation mode signal in response to a predetermined first control signal; a second operation mode generator which generates a correction value of a tracking loop offset as a second operation mode signal in response to a second control signal; a third operation mode generator which generates a value obtained by multiplying a value of the first operation mode signal by a predetermined value K1, where K1 is a non-zero real number, as a third operation mode signal; a fourth operation mode generator which generates as a fourth operation mode signal a value obtained by subtracting the value of the first operation mode signal from a value of the second operation mode signal, multiplying the result of the subtraction by the predetermined value K1, and adding the value of the second operation mode signal to the product; a fifth operation mode generator which generates a predetermined reference voltage as a fifth operation mode signal; and a switch unit which outputs one of the first through fifth operation mode signals in response to the first or second brake signal and second through fourth brake selection signals. The amount of braking is inverted in accordance with the amount of error in a track deviation direction and multiplied by a gain factor to improve the brake efficiency. In addition, the settling time after a track jump is reduced, the data access can be faster, and the unstable state, for example, due to track skipping, can return to the original stable state quickly.
