Abstract

A device for detecting defect signals on an optical disc includes a finite state machine (FSM) to control a servo system of an optical disk drive. When the FSM is in a DETECT state and defect signals are greater than thresholds, a detection counter is set to a first predetermined value and the FSM enters an ARM state. In the ARM state, when the detection counter counts zero, the FSM enters a KICK state and the detection counter is set to a second predetermined value. In the KICK state, a flag signal XDFCT is asserted. When the detection counter in the KICK state counts to zero, the FSM enters a WAIT state and the detection counter is set to a third predetermined value. When the flag signal XDFCT is asserted, corresponding servo control signals for the servo system are clamped to a programmable constant voltage.
