Abstract

A start-up method of an optical disk drive, comprising: starting to accelerate a spindle motor after initializing a digital signal processor; starting an laser diode driver of an optical pickup head after the spindle motor starts accelerating; and starting a servo control of the optical pickup head. During the step of starting the laser diode driver, the spindle motor is accelerating.

Claims (23)

1. A start-up operating method of an optical disk drive, comprising:

after initializing a digital signal processor, starting to accelerate a spindle motor;

starting a laser diode driver of an optical pickup head after the spindle motor starts accelerating; and

starting a servo control of the optical pickup head,

wherein during the step of starting the laser diode driver, the spindle motor is accelerating, and

wherein the servo control is started when the spindle motor reaches a predetermined rotation speed.

2. The start-up operating method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

resetting the digital signal processor before initializing the digital signal processor.

3. The start-up operating method according to claim 1 , wherein the spindle motor is accelerated until reaching a target rotation speed, wherein the target rotation speed is higher than the predetermined rotation speed.

4. The start-up operating method according to claim 3 , wherein the predetermined rotation speed is a rotation speed just required to read the information of a disk, and the target rotation speed is a rotation speed capable of stably reading the information of the disk under the servo control.

5. The start-up operating method according to claim 1 , wherein after starting the laser diode driver, the start-up operating method further comprises steps of filling a servo calibration parameter in the digital signal processor and setting the digital signal processor.

6. The operating method according to claim 5 , wherein the step of setting the digital signal includes setting a power management state of the digital signal processor.

7. An optical disk drive, comprising:

an optical pickup head, having a laser diode driver;

a digital signal processor;

a spindle motor;

a servo system; and

a control unit, configured to start to accelerate the spindle motor after initializing the digital signal processor, start the laser diode driver after the spindle motor starts accelerating, and start a servo control of the optical pickup head, wherein during starting the laser diode driver, the spindle motor is accelerating, and wherein the servo control is started when the spindle motor reaches a predetermined rotation speed.

8. The optical disk drive according to claim 5 , wherein the control unit is further configured to reset the digital signal processor before initializing the digital signal processor.

9. The optical disk drive according to claim 5 , wherein the spindle motor is accelerated until reaching a target rotation speed, wherein the target rotation speed is higher than the predetermined rotation speed.

10. The optical disk drive according to claim 9 , wherein the predetermined rotation speed is a rotation speed just required to read the information of a disk, and the target rotation speed is a rotation speed capable of stably reading the information of the disk under the servo control.

11. The optical disk drive according to claim 5 , wherein after starting the laser diode driver, the control unit is further configured to fill a servo calibration parameter in the digital signal processor and set the digital signal processor.

12. The optical disk drive according to claim 11 , wherein the control unit is configured to set a power management state of the digital signal processor.
