摘要： A specialized structure measures clock-to-data jitter in an optical memory interface by averaging the result of two second-order estimates of zero crossing using measured signal values on either side of the zero crossing. In one embodiment, a first estimate uses two sample points before the zero crossing and one sample point after while the second estimate uses one sample point before the zero crossing and sample two points after. An existing clock associated with an internal analog-to-digital converter is used to evenly space the samples in time. To simplify the second-order estimate calculations, the three samples of the exemplary embodiment are give x values of −1, 0, and +1 respectively. Which of the two roots of the second-order estimates is used is based on the slope of the signal at the zero crossing.

摘要： In one embodiment, a (hard-drive) read channel has a (DFIR equalization) filter, whose tap coefficients are adaptively updated. A reset controller monitors an (LLR) signal generated downstream of the filter to automatically determine when to reset the filter, e.g., by reloading an initial set of user-specified tap coefficients. For LLR values, the reset controller determines to reset the filter when the reset controller detects that too many recent LLR values have confidence values that are too low. When implemented in a hard-drive read channel, the reset controller can reset the filter one or more times during read operations within a sector of the hard drive.

摘要： In one embodiment, a signal processing receiver has a branch-metric calibration (BMC) unit that receives (i) sets of four hard-decision bits from a channel detector and (ii) a noise estimate. The BMC unit has two or more update blocks (e.g., tap-weight update and/or bias-compensation blocks) that generate updated parameters used by a branch-metric unit of the channel detector to improve channel detection. The two or more update blocks generate the updated parameters based on (i) the sets of four hard-decision bits, (ii) the noise estimate, and (iii) bandwidth values. The bandwidth values for at least two of the two or more update blocks are selected such that they are different from one another. Selecting different bandwidth values may reduce the bit-error rate for the receiver over the bit-error rate that may be achieved by selecting the bandwidth values to be the same as one another.

摘要： Various embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for data processing system. As one example, a data processing circuit is described that includes an analog to digital converter, an online timing loop, and an offline timing loop. The analog to digital converter receives an analog input and provides a first series of data samples Each bit of the first series of data samples corresponds to the analog input at a time controlled by an updated sampling clock. The online timing loop modifies the updated sampling clock based at least in part upon a processed version of the first series of data samples. The offline timing loop interpolates a derivative of the first series of data samples to yield a second series of data samples that mimics a series of data samples corresponding to the analog input that were sampled using a free running clock. The second series of data samples is interpolated to adjust each bit in accordance with an average frequency offset exhibited across the second series of data samples

摘要： A data detection and decoding system includes a SOVA channel detector that uses single parity (SOVASP) to improve the accuracy with which the detector estimates bits. Each column or row read back from the read channel constitutes a code word and each code word is encoded to satisfy single parity. Because the SOVASP channel detector detects whether each code word satisfies single parity, it is unnecessary to use both a column decoder and a row decoder in the channel decoder. Either the row decoder or the column decoder can be eliminated depending on whether bits are read back on a column-by-column basis or on a row-by-row basis. This reduction in components reduces hardware complexity and improves system performance. The output of the row or column decoder is received by a second detector that processes the output received from the decoder to recover the original information bits.
