• The forward and the reverse rotations of the CD are simply detected by using the D-F/F and the truth table is
shown in the above table.
• The rotational direction of the CD can be explained by the output waveforms of the hall sensors. Let the three
outputs of hall sensors be H1, H2 and H3 respectively.
When the spindle rotates in reverse direction, the hall sensor output waveforms are shown in Fig.(a). Thus the
phases orderd in H1→H2→H3 with a 120°C phase difference.

On the other hand, if the spindle rotates in forwand rotation, the phase relationship is H3→H2→H1 as shown in
fig.(b).

Therefore, the output of the rotational direction detector is low, when the spindle rotates forward, while high as in
the case of the reverse rotation.
