Systems, methods, devices, circuits for data processing, and more particularly to systems and methods for data processing with a linear phase noise predictive filter. A data processing system includes an equalizer circuit operable to filter a digital data input to yield equalized data, a linear phase noise predictive finite impulse response filter operable to filter the equalized data to yield filtered data, and a data detector circuit operable to apply a data detection algorithm to the filtered data to yield a detected output. The greatest tap coefficient for the linear phase noise predictive finite impulse response filter is at a center tap.

Abstract:
A data processing circuit includes a subtraction circuit operable to subtract an ideal version of a data pattern from a sampled version of a data pattern to yield a difference signal, an error calculation circuit operable to calculate an error between the ideal version of the data pattern and the sampled version of the data pattern based on the difference signal, and a comparator circuit operable to compare the error with a threshold value and operable to assert a track refresh signal if the error is greater than the threshold value. The track refresh signal is operable to trigger a magnetic storage device to refresh data on a data track.
