Abstract:
A recordable disk controller for use in a system to record a set of signal data on a recordable disk, the system having a host processor for generating the set of signal data and a command and having a micro-controller for generating a set of encoder controller register programming batches corresponding to the command, the recordable disk controller comprising:a host interface circuit for receiving the set of signal data and the command from said host processor; a data buffer manager coupled to said host interface circuit, for sending the command to said micro-controller; a batch register controller coupled to said micro-controller, for receiving the set of encoder controller register programming batches from said micro-controller; a batch buffer coupled to said batch register controller, for receiving and storing the set of encoder controller register programming batches from said batch register controller; a recording circuit for generating a set of recording signals for recording on said recordable disk according to the set of signal data; and an encoder controller coupled to said recording circuit and said batch register controller, for generating a set of control signals, to cause said recording circuit to generate the set of recording signals.
