    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for performing branch metric computations/noise predictive calibration/adaptation for over-sampled Y samples. In one or more embodiments, the techniques employ a data processing apparatus (circuit) that includes a parallel to serial convertor configured to receive a first stream of sample data (e.g., Y samples) and a second stream of sample data (e.g., Z samples). The parallel to serial convertor is operable to combine the first stream of sample data and the second stream of sample data into a combined stream of sample data (e.g., combined Y and Z samples). The data processing apparatus (circuit) further includes a filter (e.g., a noise predictive finite impulse response (NPFIR) filter, a noise whitening filter, such as a noise predictive calibration/adaptation module (NPCAL) filter, and so forth) that is configured to receive the combined stream of sample data and whiten noise in the combined stream of sample data.

    Abstract: A communication channel structure and a decoding method supported by such a communication channel structure are disclosed. Such a communication channel includes a digital filter configured for filtering an input signal and two quantizer configured for quantizing the filtered signal. A first quantizer is utilized to quantize the filtered signal to produce a first quantized sample having a first precision and a second quantizer is utilized to quantize the filtered signal to produce a second quantized sample having a second precision, wherein the second precision is different from the first precision. The communication channel also includes an iterative decoder configured for utilizing the first quantized sample for a first global iteration of a decoding process and utilizing the second quantized sample for at least one subsequent global iteration of the decoding process.

    Abstract: A data storage system identifies analog-to-digital conversion samples with amplitude below a certain threshold. Remaining samples are grouped according to phase into one or more quadrants. A multi-coordinate with overlapping quadrants is used to further differentiate sample points. The system then computes an average phase for zero phase start estimation.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for detecting a sync mark in a storage system, such as a hard disk drive. A sync mark is detected in a storage system by obtaining one or more branch metrics from a data detector in the storage system; generating one or more sync mark metrics using the one or more branch metrics from the data detector; and identifying the sync mark based on the sync mark metrics. An input data set is optionally compared with a plurality of portions of a sync mark pattern to yield corresponding comparison values and the comparison values can be summed to obtain at least one result. A sync mark found signal is asserted based upon the at least one result.
