摘要: A method and apparatus for measuring latency in a communication path is provided. The technique includes driving a signal such as a square wave on the communication path, such as a write path such that it travels around the write-read path, and sensing a returned signal at one end of the write-read path. A square wave signal corresponding to the square wave driven on the write path is delayed by a predetermined phase thus generating a delayed signal. The returned signal and the delayed signal are mixed, producing a mixed signal. The mixed signal is integrated to obtain an integrated output. The phase by which the delayed signal is shifted is successively adjusted. Returned signals are mixed with such delayed signals until the integrated output is equal to zero. The phase shift amount that results in a nulled integrated output, less a quarter cycle of the square wave, is equal to the round trip latency of the write-read path.

摘要: A technique is described for write synchronization phase calibration for storage media (e.g., bit patterned media). In one embodiment, a calibration write clock signal may be generated at a frequency offset from a nominal dot frequency of a bit patterned storage media. A periodic signal that was written to the media synchronous to the calibration write clock signal may then be read and mixed with a reference periodic signal at the nominal dot frequency to obtain a difference signal. This difference signal may be demodulated to determine a phase correction for write synchronization to the media.

摘要: Clock synchronization techniques are described for data storage media, particularly for the tolerances of efficient use of bit patterned media (BPM) capacity. In particular, techniques are described where position of a read-write head and timing of a write and/or read clock is determined within a fraction of a dot of the underlying media. The techniques obviate the requirement for the fields conventionally written preceding a data sector to provide bit synchronization and symbol framing (sector synchronization fields).

摘要: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for increasing the reliability of a disk drive. A block of information is read from a storage medium to provide a first sample, which is stored. The method determines whether an uncorrectable error occurred during the reading, and when the error is determined to have occurred, the block of information is reread from the storage medium to provide an averaged sample, and the average sample is decoded. Further disclosed is a storage unit, which includes a reader for reading a block of information from a storage medium to provide a first sample and for storing said first sample. An error determining mechanism determines whether an uncorrectable error occurred during the reading and issues a command to the reader to re-read the block of information to provide a second sample when the uncorrectable error is determined. A processor receives and averages the first sample and the second sample and produces an averaged sample. A decoder decodes the average sample.

摘要: A data signal comprising an even component and an odd component with differing amplitudes is received at a main automatic gain controller (AGC). The even component is adjusted by a first interleaved AGC and the odd component is adjusted by a second interleaved AGC such that even and odd component amplitudes are substantially equal. Amplitude adjusted even and odd components are recombined to define a data signal with components having substantially equal amplitudes. The even and odd components can be generated by a read transducer moving relative to a magnetic storage medium comprising tracks defined by discrete and spaced-apart recording bits arranged in an interspersed pattern. A read channel separates the data signal into even and odd samples such that a gain can be independently adjusted for each of the even and odd samples to compensate for asymmetry between the even and odd samples.

摘要: A magnetic disk drive data storage disk defines recording tracks divided into data sectors by narrow servo spokes. A data sector lying between servo spokes is recorded with user data encoded in accordance with a code having a predetermined distance and user data code rate. Each servo spoke of the recording area has at least one servo information field encoded in a wide bi-phase code pattern. The disk drive further includes a synchronous sampling data detection channel having a data transducer head positioned by a servo-controlled actuator over the recording track, a preamplifier for receiving electrical analog signals magnetically induced by the data transducer head from flux transitions present in at least the servo information field, a digital sampler for synchronously sampling the electrical analog signals to produce digital samples, and wide bi-phase decoding circuitry coupled to receive digital samples from the synchronous sampling data detection channel for decoding the wide bi-phase code pattern.

摘要: In a telephone signalling detector of the cross-correlation type, samples from a selected communications channel are multiplied with sine and cosine coefficients of different frequencies. The resulting sine and cosine products for each frequency are separately accumulated over a period of time after which the accumulated results are each squared and then summed for the individual frequencies. A series of sums of squares is compared in accordance with predetermined tone detection parameters to determine the presence or absence of a signalling tone defined by the coefficients. In a telephone signalling detector intended to detect any of a large family of specified signalling tones in any of a plurality of channels, the square root value of each of the sums of squares is typically provided by digital circuitry for subsequent use in a processor which is operated to complete the tone detection function in accordance with program instructions. A cost reduced square root circuit provides the square root values from a look-up ROM (read-only-memory) on a prompt and regular basis. In the square root circuit a large sum of squares is shifted toward lesser significance and a smaller sum of squares is shifted toward greater significance by means of a logic controlled shift register. Thereafter only a central portion of the shift register content is used along with a corresponding shift record to periodically address the look-up ROM.
