    摘要: A maximum likelihood decoding circuit is arranged to reduce the power consumption through the effect of the Viterbi algorithm. A plurality of storing elements 61a to 61h located vertically in a column and for storing each state survivor path information at the same time point are treated as storing element blocks 60(1) to 60(D) in a manner to correspond to the combination (state) of intra-code interferences. The outputs from the storing elements 61a to 61h are again applied into the inputs of the corresponding storing elements contained in the same storing element block through the path history selecting circuits 62a to 62h. Each of the storing element block 60(1) to 60(D) is periodically started on the input timing of a receiving signal at each processing time point by starting points (pointers) 63(1) to 63(D) outputted from a starting signal (pointer) generating circuit 68. A storing element block output circuit 64 and storing element block output terminals 65(1) to 65(D) are provided in each of the storing element blocks 60(1) to 60(D) so that a path memory circuit output 67 may be outputted through an OR circuit 66.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a symbol error correction encoder effects block interleaving on recording data and thereafter performs first error correction encoding on the recording data. Next, a symbol error correction encoder performs encoding on the whole block. A reproducing processing circuit outputs likelihood information of respective bits. A first error correction decoder corrects a random error produced upon recording and reproduction, using the likelihood information. Since it is possible to make an improvement in performance with respect to the random error by repetitive decoding at this time, the post-correction data is returned to the reproducing processing circuit. After the completion of such repetitive processing, the data is digitized and subjected to an error correction in symbol unit by a hard determination, and outputted to a symbol error correction decoder.

    摘要: In a data recovery processing, the conventional overhead, primarily, latency due to a rotational recording media is removed. Secondary, in a signal processing or in a recording and reproducing apparatus, reliability of data reproduction is improved by repeatedly processing data. These processing are achieved that input signal, i.e., raw analog signal read from the recording media is digitized to be stored in a secondary storage such as a memory or a FIFO memory. The apparatus includes a signal processing circuit to repeatedly process the stored digital signal in the secondary storage. When detecting data, operation of the circuit is efficiently controlled by a change over detector parameters, in which characteristics for the detecting performance. Resultantly, data recovery processing speed is increased and reliability of data reproduced is improved.
