Abstract:
A method for data sequence detection includes generating a first sample stream, equalizing the first sample stream to generate a first equalized sample stream, and buffering the first equalized sample stream. The first sample stream is interpolated to generate a second sample stream. The second sample stream is equalized to generate a second equalized sample stream. In a first processing path, the samples of the buffered first equalized sample stream are filtered using a first noise predictive filter bank to generate a first set of noise sample streams. In a second parallel processing path, the samples of the buffered first equalized sample stream are interpolated using a second interpolation filter to generate an interpolated sample stream and the interpolated sample stream is filtered to generate a second set of noise sample streams. The first equalized sample stream and the second equalized sample stream are processed to generate adapted filter coefficients for the second interpolation filter. The first and second set of noise sample streams are diversity combined to generate a set of combined noise sample streams. A data sequence is detected using the set of combined noise sample streams.
Abstract:
A memory in a LDPC decoding system includes data banks organized into a ping-pong memory. The ping-pong memory is connected to an interleaver and a de-interleaver. The interleaver interleaves L values; the interleaved L values are then stored in the ping-pong memory. A LDPC decoder retrieves L values from the ping-pong memory and returns E values to the ping-pong memory. The de-interleaver de-interleaves the E values and sends data to a LE queue and HD queue.
Abstract:
A layered LDPC decoder sorts and selects a subset of message entries for processing based on entry size. MIN1 and MIN2 values for each message entry in the subset are truncated, and either the truncated values or non-truncated values are combined with a symbol vector based on whether the subset of message entries includes a variable node associated with the layer being processed.
Abstract:
The disclosure is directed to a system for managing data samples utilizing a time division multiplexing controller to allocate time slots for accessing a sample memory according to one or more modes of operation. The time division multiplexing controller is configured to allocate slots for concurrent access by a sample controller, a plurality of detectors, and a noise predictive calibrator when a normal mode is enabled. The time division multiplexing controller is further configured to allocate slots excluding at least one of the sample controller, the plurality of detectors, and the noise predictive calibrator from accessing the sample memory when a retry mode is enabled. In some embodiments, the time division multiplexing controller is further configured to allocate time slots for one or more clients other than the sample controller, the plurality of detectors, and the noise predictive calibrator.

Abstract:
A read channel is configured to receive at least part of a data fragment read from a storage media into a register, wherein the data fragment is configured to be formatted with a preamble, a sync mark (e.g., a syncMark), and user data, and wherein the data fragment is missing a sync mark. A position in the data fragment is selected, a sync mark is assumed at the selected position. The data is then processed assuming the sync mark is at the selected position of the data fragment to determine whether the data converges. When a determination is made that the data converges, the data is recovered.
