    摘要: A disk drive is disclosed comprising a bias layer in a magnetoresistive (MR) head actuated over a disk having a plurality of data tracks, each data track comprising a plurality of sectors. A sync mark detector detects a sync mark pattern in a sector, wherein when the sync mark pattern is detected a sync mark detect signal and a polarity signal are generated. The polarity signal indicates when the polarity of the bias layer has deviated from a preferred polarity, wherein the polarity of the bias layer is realigned back toward the preferred polarity.

    摘要: The present invention may be regarded as a disk drive comprising a disk having a plurality of data tracks, each data track comprising a plurality of sectors. A sync mark detector detects a sync mark pattern in a sector, wherein when the sync mark pattern is detected a sync mark detect signal and a polarity signal are generated. The polarity signal represents an expected polarity of pulses in a read signal representing data stored in the sector, wherein the polarity signal enhances the detection of an estimated data sequence from the read signal.

    摘要: The present invention may be regarded as a disk drive comprising a disk having a plurality of data tracks, each data track comprising a plurality of sectors. A sync mark detector detects a sync mark pattern in a sector by filtering a read signal with a matched filter having an impulse response substantially matched to a dibit response of the disk drive. The output of the matched filter is correlated with a dual polarity correlator to generate first and second correlated signals. The sync mark pattern is detected when either the first or second correlated signals exceeds a threshold.
