System decoder for high-speed data transmission and method for controlling track buffering

摘要

A system decoder for high-speed data transmission in an optical disc reproducing apparatus. The system decoder includes a track buffer memory; a first FIFO (first-in, first-out) memory for receiving data descrambled and error-detected and outputting the data by a unit of plural words; a second FIFO memory for receiving data from the track buffer memory and outputting the data by the unit of plural words; and a track buffer controller writing the data in the first FIFO memory into the track buffer memory in a page mode, and reading the data written in the track buffer memory in a page mode to output the read data to the second FIFO memory. The track buffer memory includes a data area into which main data is written; an error information area into which error information for the main data is written; and a microcomputer area into which a microcomputer of the optical disc reproducing apparatus writes data.
