Abstract:
Systems, devices, and method for phase slip recovery may include reading a plurality of data portions of a data block and positioning a mask over one or more data portions of the data block. The data portions following the mask may be shifted to provide a masked, reframed data block, and then the data block may be attempted to be decoded, which may be repeated until the data block is decoded.
Abstract:
A phase-locked loop (PLL) filter of a read channel includes a filter portion having an input coupled to delay circuitry having an output. The input of the filter portion is configured to receive a phase error signal. A look-up table is coupled to the filter portion. The look-up table comprises phase coefficients and frequency coefficients associated with a plurality of phase error magnitudes. The look-up table is configured to provide one or both of a selected phase coefficient and a selected frequency coefficient based on a magnitude of the phase error signal. The PLL filter is configured to adjust a bandwidth of the filter portion using one or both of the selected phase coefficient and the selected frequency coefficient. A phase signal indicative of estimated phase disturbance is produced at the output of the delay circuitry.

Abstract:
Multiple signals are read, respectively, from multiple different cross-track positions of a track of a magnetic medium. Weighting coefficients for each of the multiple signals are determined. The weighting coefficients are applied to the respective signals to form weighted signals. The weighted signals are combined and the combined signal is used to recover data stored in the track.

Abstract:
A recording head is configured to write and read data sectors to and from a recording medium, such as a heat-assisted recording medium. A read channel is coupled to the recording head. Phase-locked loop (PLL) circuitry of the read channel is configured to detect a change in a phase error at a location of the data sector. The phase error change may be indicative of a mode-hop that occurred while writing the data sector to the medium. The PLL circuitry is configured to determine a phase offset using the phase error. A controller is configured to effect re-reading of the data sector location using the phase offset to recover the data sector location.
