Is there any active circuitry inside the motor, or just a Hall effect sensor? How many poles does it have? Just about every CD spindle motor I've ever seen has been a "universal" type with brushes. My guess is that there's some dirt or corrosion in or around the commutator. Take it apart (carefully, or you'll ruin the brushes), and give things a good polish. Be sure to look for faulty solder joints on the armature, too. Isaac Hi, Isaac. Thanks for your response. I'm shocked it has a commutator. How is constant speed maintained? Bob Morein (310) 237-6511 Timing data is recovered from the cd itself and frame sync is maintained by the decoder IC and motor drive circuit. And inertia. Plus, motor speed isn't critical if the data is being buffered. Well, inertia figures into the equation, I am sure, but if you look at the drive waveform from the decoder IC to the motor drive IC, you will see some interesting stuff. The envelope shows a center line with components above and below zero. Spread it out a bit and you will see the positive and negative spikes. The negative spikes are braking pulses used to help maintain servo lock. When a CD is first spinning up, all the spikes are positive, a 100 % duty cycle. As servo lock is achieved, it drops to near 50 %. When the STOP button is press, the spikes are all negative for 2 or 3 seconds so the disc stops quicker. Earlier motor drive IC's were essentially power op-amps driving one motor lead positive or negative with respect to ground. Any more they are BTL drive, with both motor leads actively driven by the chip. Data buffering is used on newer models, including DVD players and MP3 compatible models. I don't think earlier CD models used it. So long as frame sync is maintained within spec, the Reed-Solomon code takes care of the rest. A buffer is necessary for R-S decoding. Isaac |

It need not be the many kBytes required for "skip proofing" |
