Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to binary data encoding or decoding that converts a binary data sequence into a binary code sequence suitable for data processing in electronic equipment such as magnetic disks and optical disks. Concerning a hexadecimal data processing method.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various encoding methods (also called digital modulation methods) have been proposed in order to improve the recording density when recording binary data on a recording medium such as a magnetic disk or an optical disk. Encoding generally involves converting m bits of data into an n-bit code in which the number of bits "0" between adjacent bits "1" is limited to a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 6. This converted code is converted to NRZ
The I-converted pattern becomes the recording waveform pattern. In other words, the recording waveform pattern corresponds to code bit 1" with inversion and sign bit "0" with no inversion. Here, inversion means that the recording waveform changes from High Level to Low L.
to evel or from Low Level to High
It refers to a transition to Level.

The encoding method is generally (m r n r d r k )
It is expressed by four parameters. First, important parameters will be defined for the following explanation.

k; Maximum number of bits "0" that can be inserted between bits "l"T; Data bit interval (sec) Tm+n --(d+1) T; Minimum inversion interval Tm
ax = ' (k+1) T ; Maximum reversal interval Tw
= -1li-T , detection window width (demodulation phase margin) Also, to mention important things about the encoding method, Tm1n
As for Tm1n, it is better to have a larger Tm1n so that it does not include high frequency components and is less susceptible to band limitation. or,
Tw is set so as not to make it difficult to distinguish between pulses.
The larger the value, the better in order to lower the decoding error rate. Also, T
max is as small as possible, reducing low frequency components,
It is better to make synchronization easier by reducing the difference between Tmin and Tmax by setting it to 0 so that a large amount of the clock frequency component is included.

Typical conventional encoding methods are FM and MFM.
, 3PM, etc. Although the details are omitted, (m + n
When expressed by the parameter r d r k ), l
i”M is (1,2,0,1)Ml”M is (1,2,1
, 3) 3PM is (3, 6, 2, 11). Therefore, Tm1n Tmax Tw is as follows.

FM MFM Tmin = 0.5 T Tm1n = TTmax
= T Tmax = 2 TTw = 0.5 T
' Tw = 0.5 TPM Tmin = 1.5 T Tmax = 6 T Tw = 0.5T Since Tw is as small as 0.5 T in such a coding method, the decoding error rate decreases as data density increases. It had the disadvantage that it increased.

Based on the above description, it is an object of the present invention to provide a data processing method that eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks, has fewer low frequency components in the recorded waveform, and easily encodes and/or decodes seven clocks. , an object of the present invention is to provide an electronic device that employs the encoding and/or decoding method.

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the configuration of electronic equipment that performs digital modulation of magnetic disks, optical disks, electronic files, and the like. Reference numeral 1 indicates an information source or its input unit, and 2 indicates an information source encoding unit for suppressing redundancy of information in the information source 1.

Bandwidth compression compresses the transmission frequency band in an analog way, and high efficiency is a digital method that attempts to reduce the average number of bits per pixel (sample value). This is close to amplitude compression. 3 is a channel encoding unit for communication paths, transmission paths, etc., which includes error correction, digital modulation, etc. Reference numeral 4 denotes a recording/reproducing system for the magnetic disk, optical disk, etc. described above. Further, 5.6 is a decoding section for decoding the data encoded by the encoding sections 2 and 3.

7 is an output unit that outputs the information obtained through the above processing.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the recording/reproducing system 4, and is a diagram showing a head section of a video disc or the like.

First, let's talk about the signal recording system. Based on the long sword data, the light source 9, for example, a semiconductor laser, blinks and emits light in response to a drive signal from the signal source 8. Note that the signal source 8 includes the encoding units 2 and 3 shown in FIG. The light beam emitted by the light source 9 becomes a parallel light beam by the collimator lens 10,
The light passes through a grating 11, a polarizing plate 12, and an optical element 13 whose transmission reflectance is polarization dependent. A point image is created on the perpendicular magnetic recording medium 15 by the objective lens 14 . Although the semiconductor laser light is approximately P-polarized with respect to the optical element 13, the polarizing plate 12 is also installed with the polarization direction in the P direction.

The grating 11 separates the beam angle in order to focus a sub-spot for tracking detection onto the perpendicular magnetic recording medium 15 using the objective lens 14.

At this time, three point images are formed on the recording medium 15 due to the action of the grating 11. Of these three point images, two point images used for tracking signal detection during reproduction are ±1st-order diffracted light of the grating 11, and the remaining one is undiffracted light (zero-order light). By setting the diffraction efficiency by the grating 11, it is easy to record a signal using only the point image of the undiffracted light without performing signal recording using these two point images.

The combination of the cylindrical lens 16 and the 4-split detector 17 is
This is to obtain an autofocus signal for adjusting the position of the objective lens 14 in order to focus the point image correctly.

The signal from the 4-split detector 17 is divided into two systems by a signal distributor 18, one of which is used as an autofocus signal, and the other is used for outputting and monitoring recording signals. Note that this output is sent to the decoding units 5, 6, . It includes an information output section 7.

Also, during recording, a tracking signal detection detector 19.
The differential signal from 20 is in the OFF state.

Next, the signal reproduction system will be described.

A signal of a constant level is applied from the signal source 8 to bring the light source 9 into a state of emitting a constant amount of light. Further, the amount of light at this time is adjusted to such an amount that the recorded magnetic domain pattern is not reversed, as described above. The light beam transmitted through the collimator 10, grating 11, polarizing plate 12, and optical element 13 is sent to the objective lens 1.
4, three point images are formed on the recording medium. The light beam from the recording medium 15 has its plane of polarization modulated by the Kerr effect, and is detected by a detector 17 in a system of a light splitting optical element 13 and an analyzer 21.
．． At 19.20, it enters a light and dark modulated state. The signal from the detector 17 is distributed into two systems, one system serving as an autofocus signal and the other system serving as a reproduction signal.

Further, the signals from the detectors 19 and 20 are differentiated by the differential AMP 22, and the objective lens is swung left and right using the signal to perform tracking. Note that due to the action of the optical element 13, a bright and dark pattern with high contrast can be detected in the reproduction system.

Note that a Faraday rotary element can be inserted between the optical element 13 and the recording medium 15 as a means for adjusting the amount of light between recording and reproduction.

The Faraday rotation element is made of, for example, YIG (yttrium-iron-garnet) crystal or glass doped with rare earth elements, and can rotate the plane of polarization of a light beam by applying a magnetic field. The reason for using this Faraday rotating element is as follows.

The polarization direction of the reflected light from the recording medium 15 during recording is different from the polarization direction of the reflected light subjected to Kerr rotation during reproduction. Therefore, the reflected light beam is separated from the incident light beam by the light splitting optical element 13, and the amount of light transmitted through the analyzer 21 is different.

Furthermore, during reproduction, the amount of light emitted by the light source must be lower than during recording to prevent the recorded magnetic domain pattern from reversing, so this factor also causes the amount of light that passes through the analyzer 21 to differ between recording and reproduction. .

If the amount of light guided through the cylindrical lens 16 to the four-split detector 17 for detecting recording signals and autofocus signals is significantly different, it becomes necessary to switch the sensitivity of the detector 17 between recording and playback. .

The Faraday rotating element applies an appropriate magnetic field during recording and rotates the polarization plane of the recording light beam, thereby adjusting the amount of light entering the detector 17 using the combination of the optical element 13 and the analyzer 21, thereby solving the above problem. It is.

In this example, a video disc is used as the electronic device, but there is no need to limit it to this, and the present invention can also be applied to data processing in a network constructed from workstations, printers/host computers, disk devices, etc.

Next, the encoding method will be explained.

Vol, 17. 1970, length n according to P436
It has been proven that the number of bit-restricted codes, that is, codes where d=0 and k is a finite value, is the following Nk(n).
−Nk(n)=2” (0<n≦k)−1■i=1 Table 1 shows the results calculated using the above formulas 1 and 2.

Table 1 From Table 1, it can be seen that there are 504 codes where n=10 and d=2 (d=o). However, when these codes are concatenated, the restriction of =2 may be violated at the junction between the codes, as shown in FIG. However, if a 10-bit code can be constructed as shown in FIG. 4, the restriction of =2 will not be violated even if the codes are concatenated.

In other words, FIG. 4(a) is a code in which the first bit is always 1, the last bit is 1, and the middle 8 bits are restricted to 2. According to Table 1, there are 149 of these.

FIG. 4(b) is a code in which the first bit is always 1, the last 2 bits are 10, and the middle 7 bits are limited to 2. According to Table 1, there are 81 such items.

FIG. 4(C) is a code in which the last bit is always 1, and the last 3 bits are 100, and the middle 6 bits are limited to 2. According to Table 1, there are 44 of these.

From the above, there are 274 restriction codes that do not violate the restriction of =2 even if they are connected as shown in FIG. In addition to the above, the code may be "010 rororororo 1" or "010 rororororo 10".

Consider separating data into 8-bit units and converting this into a 10-bit code. Then, the 8-bit data becomes 2
'=256 codes exist, which is smaller than the number of 10-bit codes (274) in FIG. Therefore, we randomly select 256 codes from 274 codes and convert them into 256 codes.
It can be seen that (m, n+d+k)=(8+10+0.2) code can be realized by making one-to-one correspondence with 8-bit data. The same applies to other bit numbers.

When converting data of every 7 bits into a 13-bit code, 28=256 (I1 may be associated with one of the codes shown in Table 2).

FIG. 5 is a block diagram of the encoding structure of the present invention.

In FIG. 5, the data series is input from ■. This data series is input to 100 8-bit shift registers. GK is an input terminal for a clock that drives 100 shift registers. This clock signal is a lot at the same time
is also input to the counter. The counter 101 generates a pulse every time eight clocks are counted, and this pulse is input to the chip select (C3) terminal.

Chip Select) When a pulse is input to the (C3) terminal, the ROM 102 takes in the data in the shift register lOO, thereby specifying the ROM address corresponding to the data. 256 13-bit codes arbitrarily selected from Table 2 are stored in addresses 0 to 255 of the ROM, and when the ROM address corresponding to data is specified, the 13-bit code stored at that address is stored. is shift register 10
3 (output from the code output terminal of the furnace).

This completes the conversion from data to code, that is, the encoding.

The conversion from code to data, which is performed on the reproduction side, can be performed by performing the reverse conversion to that described above.

As explained above, the 13-bit code shown in Table 1 is a code in which the number of pids 0' between adjacent bits "i" is limited to a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 7. The effect is that the restriction cannot be broken even by concatenation of 13-bit codes.

Therefore, Tmjn=1.23T Tmax=4.92T Tw =0.62T. As a result, this method has the effect of being a method with a larger Tw than the conventional FM method and 3PM, a larger Tmtn than the MFM, and a lower prosecutor error rate. Also, 3P
It has the effect that Tmax is smaller than M and synchronization is easier to achieve.
