A semiconductor wafer and a method for fabricating a semiconductor wafer having improved dicing lanes are provided. The dicing lanes include grooves formed by photolithography and etching processes. The wafer also includes a plating layer on a back side of the wafer to facilitate bonding of individual circuit chips to a suitable substrate and to effect efficient heat transfer between the chip and the substrate. Photolithography and etching processes are employed to etch horizontal and vertical lanes in the plating layer to facilitate breaking of the individual chips from the wafer. The horizontal and vertical lanes etched in the plating layer are coincident to the grooves etched in the substrate. The wafer can then be broken into individual circuit chips by applying stress to the back of the wafer, such that the wafer cleanly breaks along the horizontal and vertical dicing lanes and the etched grooves.

A large array or pagewidth printhead fabricated from printhead elements or subunits having adhesive-free butting edges. Each of the printhead elements includes a heater element and a channel element bonded together by an adhesive such as an epoxy. A space or adhesive-receiving aperture is formed between the channel element and the heater element before mating so that any adhesive forced from between the channel element and heater element by the pressure of mating does not flow onto the butting surfaces, but instead overflows into the space thereby maintaining an adhesive free butting edge. The channel element includes an etch trough which forms the space. The printhead elements are butted together to form a large array printhead. The absence of adhesive on the butting edges improves manufacturability of the large array printhead.

A Viterbi detector for a PR4,ML data channel includes a data sample input for receiving digital data samples from a source. Digital data samples are taken of data which has been coded in a predetermined data code format and which has been passed through a data degrading channel. A delay circuit delays the digital data samples received at the data sample input. A delay selector controls an output of the delay circuit in accordance with a feedback control bit value. An adder circuit combines data samples from the data sample input with delayed samples from the delay circuit to produce a sum. A threshold input receives programmable positive and negative data threshold values. A threshold selector puts out either the positive or the negative threshold values in accordance with a sign bit control value. A comparator compares the sum with a selected threshold value and puts out a logical value based upon comparison thereof. It includes Viterbi decision state logic for determining the sign bit control value, the feedback control bit value, and two raw data bits for each incoming data sample. A memory path circuit decodes a sequence of consecutive values of the raw data bits in accordance with a predetermined maximum likelihood trellis decode logic table related to the predetermined data code format and puts out a sequence of detected code bits.

An ultra wideband receiver, based on multiband orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MB-OFDM), combines digital data from multiple channels after signal processing and before decoding. The receiver provides a master controller that synthesizes packet synchronization, frame synchronization, and sampling frequency offset information from multiple channels into signals that simultaneously control all channels of the receiver.

A synchronous sampling data detection channel includes a data transducer head positioned by a servo-controlled actuator over a recording track of a rotating data storage disk, a preamplifier for receiving electrical analog signals magnetically induced by the data transducer head from flux transitions present in at least the servo information field, a digital sampler for synchronously sampling the electrical analog signals to produce digital samples, and a Viterbi detector coupled to receive digital samples from the synchronous sampling data detection channel for decoding 1/4 T coded wide biphase servo information patterns patterns as maximum likelihood servo data sequences, wherein the wide biphase magnet patterns are arranged e.g. as ++-- magnet patterns for a binary zero information value and --++ magnet patterns for a binary one information value.

An improved cross-checking circuit is provided for use within a Reed-Solomon error correction and cross checking apparatus for performing error correction and cross checking upon a data block within an incoming stream of substantially contiguous data blocks flowing from a source to a destination. The circuit is based upon a distinguished primitive element, alpha.sup.1 (2B (Hex))=x.sup.5 +x.sup.3 +x+1, of a Galois field whose elements are represented by residue classes of binary polynomials modulo p(x)=x.sup.8 +x.sup.4 +x.sup.3 +x.sup.2 +1. The apparatus includes a microcontroller for supervising the flow of the data blocks and for making calculations related to error corrections, and a Galois field syndrome generator and remainder recovery circuit is connected to receive the incoming stream and recover therefrom plural error correction remainder bytes for each block and selectively to hold said bytes in a syndrome latch, the remainder bytes being related to syndrome bytes appended to the data block. The generator and remainder recovery circuit includes the Reed-Solomon cross-checking circuit for recovering cross-checking remainder information related to cross check syndrome information in accordance with the polynomial GXC(x)=x.sup.2 +alpha.sup. 134 x+alpha.sup.1.
