Provided are a method and apparatus for performing a writing test using
charge pumps in an optical disk reproducing/recording apparatus. In the
apparatus for performing the writing test, an optimum power control (OPC)
determining unit determines a phase of a radio frequency signal using a
reference voltage, and generates a corresponding OPC voltage; an
analog-to-digital converter (ADC) unit converts the OPC voltage into a
digital signal; and a micom controls a power control unit according to
the digital signal, to appropriately control laser power.
