    摘要: A filter for compensating discrete secondary pulse formations associated with a data stream of discrete main pulses produced from data read from magnetic media. The filter's impulse response comprises a center coefficient with side compensating coefficients for attenuating the secondary pulses when the input signal is convolved with the impulse response. The magnitude and delay of the compensation coefficients are programmable and are adaptively adjusted to optimize the impulse response for a given environment. In a traditional FIR embodiment, two delay lines are used to generate the two programmable delays between the center coefficient and side compensation coefficients. In the preferred embodiment, an IIR filter provides the two programmable delays using only one delay line thereby reducing the size and cost of the circuit. Also in the preferred embodiment, the data stream is interleaved into an even and odd data stream and processed in parallel by two filters in order to double the throughput. Further, the pre-cursor correcting portion of the filter can be disabled in order to avoid delaying the data stream while still canceling the post-cursor secondary pulses. The filter also comprises attenuation and adder means to match the coincident sample values in amplitude and add them to substantially eliminate the effect of the secondary pulses in the discrete data stream.

    摘要: The low-data-delay triple-coverage code for on-the-fly error correction apparatus allows on-the-fly error correction with fewer redundancy bytes than needed for a non-overlaid data redundancy structure thereby producing corrected data with a low data delay. The present apparatus divides a received block of data into a plurality of fixed size sub-blocks with the last sub-block size being smaller than or equal to the fixed sub-block size. Three predefined error correcting code generator polynomials are used to accumulate redundancy values for the sub-blocks. At the end of each sub-block one of the three pre-defined error correcting code generator polynomials will have accumulated a redundancy value across the present sub-block data and the previous two sub-blocks of data and redundancy. After the accumulated redundancy has been output as write data the predefined error correcting code generator polynomial is reset. Therefore, the redundancy information contained in each sub-block covers that sub-block's data in addition to the data and redundancy in the previous two sub-blocks.

    摘要: A synchronous read channel is disclosed which samples an analog read signal from a magnetic read head positioned over a magnetic disk medium, filters the sample values according to a desired partial response, extracts timing information from the filtered sample values, and detects an estimated data sequence from the filtered sample values using a discrete time sequence detector. The read channel employs a Data Randomizer which processes unencoded user data to insure that the channel bit patterns with worst-case pattern sensitivity occur no more frequently than would be expected from random user data. The Data Randomizer employs two linear feedback shift registers: one generates a 63-bit sequence which is EXLUSIVE-OR-ed against the MSB of each pair of data bits, the other generates a 127-bit sequence which is EXCLUSIVE-OR-ed against the LSB of each pair of data bits. The Data Randomizer does not affect error propagation. When the Data Randomizer is enabled, the probability of encountering any specific pattern of length n channel bits at a randomly selected location within encoded data is approximately 1/2.sup.n.

    摘要: A mixed analog and digital gain control circuit for controlling the amplitude of an analog input signal. The circuit has a variable gain amplifier that receives the signal from a read/write recording head preamplifier. The output of the variable gain amplifier is connected through a multiplexer and equalizer to an analog to digital converter for converting the analog signal to digital sample values at controlled sampling times. A gain control circuit receives the digital values and the output of a pulse detector indicating when a pulse has occurred. A gain error detector within the gain control circuit determines the amount of error in the amplitude of each detected pulse, and this error amount is filtered and sent through a digital to analog converter and then through an exponentiating circuit. The output of the exponentiating circuit is connected to a gain control input of the variable gain amplifier.
