Abstract
The present invention is provides a method and apparatus for slip protection of DVD-RAM drive's seek control, comprising a slip end velocity controller, a re-seek controller, and a slip detector. Among them, the slip end velocity controller is used for providing a first control signal to direct a driver to control the slip end velocity of the optical head while seeking. The re-seek controller is capable of providing a second control signal to the seek controller for directing the seek controller to control the driver driving the optical head for re-seeking. The slip detector is used for receiving the TE signal sent from the preamplifier to determine if the optical head is slipping and to switch the input signal of the driver.
