A 0.13 /spl mu/m CMOS DVD SoC has been developed, reducing the die size from a previous 64 mm/sup 2/ to 34mm/sup 2/ without degrading its performance and functionality, by optimizing the chip architecture and implementation scheme in the same generation process technology. The presented SoC features a novel PRML read channel, employing full digital equalizers with an oversampling method to improve system stability while keeping channel quality.
