    Abstract: The present invention is a programmable QC LDPC encoder for encoding user data. The encoder may be configurable for implementation with a read channel. The encoder may include a plurality of barrel shifter circuits. The barrel shifter circuits are configured for generating a plurality of parity bits based on interleaved user bits received by the encoder. The barrel shifter circuits are further configured for outputting the parity bits. The encoder may further include an encoder interleaver memory. The encoder interleaver memory may be communicatively coupled with the barrel shifter circuits and may receive the parity bits output from the barrel shifter circuits. The encoder interleaver may be configured for interleaving the parity bits. Further, the encoder may be configured for outputting the interleaved parity bits to a multiplexer. The barrel shifter circuits may generate the plurality of parity bits via an encoding algorithm: p=u*GT.

    Abstract: A method is provided to enable communication between a controller and a preamplifier in a storage device. For example, the method includes implementing a serial port which is configured to transmit digital signals between the controller and the preamplifier over a single bidirectional serial data line. The serial port is controlled to selectively transmit digital signals over the bidirectional serial data line in either a first direction from the controller to the preamplifier or a second direction from the preamplifier to the controller.

    Abstract: Touchdown detection in magnetic storage devices is provided to detect contact between a storage medium and a magnetic head having an embedded contact sensor. A sample stream is obtained, which includes samples of a sensor signal output from the embedded contact sensor. The sample stream is segmented into multiple segments. A modulation depth is determined for each of the segments. A combined modulation depth is determined by combining the modulation depths of the segments using a weighting function. The combined modulation depth is compared with a threshold. A determination is made as to whether the magnetic head makes contact with the storage medium based on a result of the comparing.
