High Precision Tracking Control based on Pseudo-Inverse Feedforward Control System for Next-Generation Optical Disks

Abstract

Optical disk drive systems must realize high-precision tracking control. For this purpose, we have already proposed a tracking control system that is composed of a high gain servo controller (HGSC) and a perfect tracking controller (PTC). The conventional feedforward tracking control system adequately suppresses the tracking error caused by track eccentricity. However, the PTC system in the conventional system is complicated. Therefore, the PTC system embedded on a digital signal processor (DSP) cannot realize fast sampling time and the conventional system has a speedup limitation in the optical disk tracking control system. Hence, in this paper, we propose a new high-speed and high-precision feedforward tracking control system that uses a pseudo-inverse matrix. The proposed system consists of the pseudo-inverse feedforward control (P-IFFC). The proposed system realizes simple and quick execution in a digital signal processor software servo. Our experimental results confirm that the proposed system effectively suppresses the tracking error under a condition of the 7200 rpm disk rotation speed of DVD+R. In addition, the conventional systems and the proposed system with a pseudo-inverse matrix are compared in terms of processing time and tracking error.
