摘要:
A data reproduction device in conformity to Viterbi decoding includes an inverted-selected path generation part for receiving a selected path and an inverted candidate, selecting and modifying the selected path corresponding to the inverted candidate so as to produce a inverted-selected path that is an inverted version of the selected path, and outputting a number of the inverted-selected paths in parallel, the number corresponding to a number of the inverted candidates selected for the selected path of a predetermined data length and a second candidate data generation part for generating second candidate data from the inverted candidate. The device further includes a data selection part for selecting between the first and the second candidate data based on error detecting results.
摘要:
An information recording and reproduction apparatus has a turbo decoder that decodes turbo encoded data. The turbo decoder has a number of likelihood ratio calculation units, forward direction path probability calculation units the number of which is less than the number of the likelihood ratio calculation units, and backward direction path probability calculation units the number of which is less than the number of the likelihood ratio calculation units. The likelihood ratio calculation units calculate in parallel the likelihood ratio for each of a plurality of data blocks. The forward direction path probability calculation units time-divisionally calculate probabilities of the forward direction paths for the data blocks. The backward direction path probability calculation units time-divisionally calculate probabilities of the backward direction paths for the data blocks.
摘要:
A clock adjustment device for a data reproduction apparatus includes an edge detection part detecting an edge of a reproduced signal corresponding to a predetermined synchronization pattern based on a state of change of sampled values obtained in synchronism with a clock signal from the reproduced signal, a timing signal output part outputting a timing signal in a given cycle determined by the synchronization pattern from a timing at which the edge of the reproduced signal is detected, and a phase adjustment part adjusting a phase of the clock signal when the edge of the reproduced signal is detected and every time the timing signal is output.
