摘要:
Methods and apparatus are provided for processing a signal in a read channel using a selective oversampled analog to digital conversion. The disclosed selective oversampled analog to digital conversion simplifies the analog design by transferring at least a portion of the equalization and/or filtering processes to the digital domain. An oversampled analog to digital conversion is applied to an analog input signal to generate a plurality of digital samples for a given bit interval. The plurality of digital samples for a given bit interval are applied to a corresponding plurality of data detectors to obtain a detected output. The plurality of digital samples for a given bit interval may have a phase offset relative to one another. The detected output may be obtained, for example, by summing the outputs of the plurality of data detectors or by aggregating weighted outputs of the plurality of data detectors.

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.

Various embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for calibrating a data processing circuit. For example, a method for calibrating a data processing circuit is discussed that includes providing a digital filter, providing a detector circuit, and providing an analog filter. Operation of the digital filter is at least in part governed by filter taps that correspond to a filter tap constraint value. Operation of the detector circuit is at least in part governed by a target parameter. Operation of the analog filter is at least in part governed by an analog parameter that is one of a plurality of analog parameters. The methods further include selecting a target parameter, and calculating the filter tap constraint value based on the target parameter. Combinations of the target parameter, the calculated filter tap constraint value, and each of the plurality of analog parameters are applied to identify the analog parameter.
