    The document describes the configuration of a CD-ROM. It discusses the components of a CD, including a clear polycarbonate disc layer with microscopic data pits, a reflective aluminum layer, and a protective acrylic layer. It also describes the components of a CD player, including a drive motor that spins the disc, a laser and lens system that focuses on and reads the pits arranged in a single continuous spiral track, and a tracking mechanism that moves the laser assembly to follow the spiral track. The laser beam reflects off the pits and lands to detect changes in reflectivity interpreted by the drive electronics to read the data encoded in the disc.

    CONFIGURATION OF

    introduction
    Ø CD-ROM (compact disc read-only memory) is a pre-
    pressed compact disc that contains data accessible to, but
    not writable by, a computer for data storage and music
    playback
    Ø Some CDs hold both computer data and audio with the latter
    capable of being played on a CD player, while data (such as
    software or digital video) is only usable on a computer
     These are called enhanced CDs

    Ø A CD is a fairly simple piece of plastic, about four one-
    hundredths (4/100) of an inch (1.2 mm) thick. Most of a CD
    consists of an injection-molded piece of clear polycarbonate
    plastic. During manufacturing, this plastic is impressed with
    microscopic indentations (pits) arranged as a single,
    continuous, extremely long spiral track of data
    Ø Once the clear piece of polycarbonate is formed, a thin,
    reflective aluminum layer is sputtered onto the disc,
    covering the pits
    Ø Then a thin acrylic layer is sprayed over the aluminum to
    protect it
    Ø The label is then printed onto the acrylic
    A cross section of a complete CD
    Make of a CD
    The Spiral

    Ø A CD has a single spiral track of data, circling from the inside


    of the disc to the outside
    Ø The data track is approximately 0.5 microns wide, with 1.6
    microns separating one track from the next
    Pits
    Ø The elongated pits that make up the track are each 0.5
    microns wide, a minimum of 0.83 microns long and 125
    nanometers high
    Ø The incredibly small dimensions of the pits make the spiral
    track on a CD extremely long
     (If you could lift the data track off a CD and stretch it out
    into a straight line, it would be 0.5 microns wide and almost 5
    km long)

    CD sector contents

    Ø A standard 74 min. CD contains 333,000 blocks or sectors.


    Ø Each sector is 2,352 bytes, and contains 2,048 bytes of PC
    (mode 1) data, 2,336 bytes of VCD (mode 2) data, or 2,352
    bytes of audio
    Ø The difference between sector size and data content are
    the header information and the error-correcting codes, that
    are big for data (high precision required), small for VCD
    (standard for video) and none for audio

    CD Player Components
    Ø The CD player has the job of finding and reading the data
    stored as pits on the CD. Considering how small the pits
    are, the CD player is an exceptionally precise piece of
    equipment
    Ø The drive consists of three fundamental components:

    ü A drive motor spins the disc. This drive motor is precisely


    controlled to rotate between 200 and 500 rpm depending
    on which track is being read
    ü A laser and a lens system focus in on and read the pits
    ü A tracking mechanism moves the laser assembly so that
    the laser's beam can follow the spiral track

    Inside a CD player
    What the CD Player
    Does : Laser Focus
    Ø Inside the CD player, there is a good bit of computer
    technology involved in forming the data into
    understandable data blocks and sending them either to the
    DAC (in the case of an audio CD) or to the computer (in the
    case of a CD-ROM drive)
    Ø The fundamental job of the CD player is to focus the laser on
    the track of pits. The laser beam passes through the
    polycarbonate layer, reflects off the aluminum layer and
    hits an opto-electronic device that detects changes in light.
    The pits reflect light differently than the "lands" (the rest of
    the aluminum layer), and the opto-electronic sensor detects
    that change in reflectivity. The electronics in the drive
    interpret the changes in reflectivity in order to read
    the bits that make up the bytes
