Track jump controller and a track jump method

摘要

A disk apparatus 10 includes a DSP 36. The DSP 36 controls each circuit component under the instruction from an MCU 44. When a braking pulse is applied to a driver 38b at the end of a jump, a corresponding tracking actuator control voltage is supplied to a tracking actuator 16. Then a DSP core 36a determines whether the TE signal level becomes equal to or below the predetermined value within a predetermined period shorter than the zero crossing cycle of the TE signal. In case the TE signal level does not become equal to or below the predetermined value within the predetermined period, the DSP core 36a determines that the travel direction of an objective lens 14 with respect to a disk 22 is reversed and applies a correction pulse having a polarity opposite to that of the braking pulse thus accelerating the objective lens 14.
