Various embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for flaw scan in a data processing system. As one example, a data processing system is disclosed that includes a data detector circuit, a bit sign inverting circuit, and an LDPC decoder circuit. The data detector circuit receives a verification data set that is an invalid LDPC codeword, and applies a data detection algorithm to the verification data set to yield a detected output. The bit sign inverting circuit modifies the sign of one or more elements of a first derivative of the detected output to yield a second derivative of the detected output. The second derivative of the detected output is an expected valid LDPC codeword. The LDPC decoder circuit applies a decoding algorithm to the second derivative of the detected output to yield a decoded output.

In one embodiment, irregular electronic disturbance signals in a partial-response read channel are detected by a disturbance detector using state metrics generated by maximum-likelihood sequence detector. For example, a thermal asperity (TA) detector detects the occurrence of TAs in the read channel of perpendicularly recorded magnetic media by using the state metrics generated by a Viterbi detector. Changes in state metrics (e.g., magnitudes of the branch metrics of the trellis diagram) used by the Viterbi detector are tracked. If the magnitude of the rise of the path metric increases above a set threshold, then a TA is detected. Alternatively, or additionally, the rate of change of the magnitude of the path metrics is tracked. If the rate of change within a set time window is above a specified threshold, then a TA is detected.
