    摘要: A magnetic disk drive data storage disk defines recording tracks divided into data sectors by narrow servo spokes. A data sector lying between servo spokes is recorded with user data encoded in accordance with a code having a predetermined distance and user data code rate. Each servo spoke of the recording area has at least one servo information field encoded in a wide bi-phase code pattern. The disk drive further includes a synchronous sampling data detection channel having a data transducer head positioned by a servo-controlled actuator over the recording track, a preamplifier for receiving electrical analog signals magnetically induced by the data transducer head from flux transitions present in at least the servo information field, a digital sampler for synchronously sampling the electrical analog signals to produce digital samples, and wide bi-phase decoding circuitry coupled to receive digital samples from the synchronous sampling data detection channel for decoding the wide bi-phase code pattern.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for increasing the reliability of a disk drive. A block of information is read from a storage medium to provide a first sample, which is stored. The method determines whether an uncorrectable error occurred during the reading, and when the error is determined to have occurred, the block of information is reread from the storage medium to provide an averaged sample, and the average sample is decoded. Further disclosed is a storage unit, which includes a reader for reading a block of information from a storage medium to provide a first sample and for storing said first sample. An error determining mechanism determines whether an uncorrectable error occurred during the reading and issues a command to the reader to re-read the block of information to provide a second sample when the uncorrectable error is determined. A processor receives and averages the first sample and the second sample and produces an averaged sample. A decoder decodes the average sample.

    摘要: An analog-to-digital converter circuit in a sampling data detection channel of a disk drive synchronously samples user data in the data track areas at a first quantization resolution and samples servo bursts from the spoke areas at a second quantization resolution effectively greater than said first quantization resolution. An offset circuit provides a predetermined analog offset signal to a combining circuit which combines it with an incoming analog signal to provide a composite signal during a spoke servo burst sampling interval. An analog-to-digital converter samples the composite signal during the servo spoke burst sampling interval, and synchronously samples the analog signal during a user data sampling interval. A digital averaging circuit averages the servo spoke samples over a predetermined averaging interval to provide averaged burst samples having increased bit resolution.

    摘要: Presented is a data channel with selectable components, such as encoders or decoders. Also, data having different data signal characteristics can be processed through a data channel based on the data signal characteristics. Further, a data channel may have independent encoding path and an independent decoding path. For example, a first data transmission having first data signal characteristics may be processed via a data channel based on a first selected set of components of the data channel and a second data transmission having second data signal characteristics different than the first data signal characteristics may be processed via the data channel using a second selected set of components in the data channel. The first selected set of components may be different than the second selected set of components, but may share one or more common components.

    摘要: Approaches for decoding data read from memory cells of a nonvolatile, solid state memory involve attempting to decode hard data using a hard decoding process prior to a time that soft data is available to the decoder. The hard data includes information about the digital symbols stored in the memory cells without data confidence information. The soft data includes information about the digital symbols stored in the memory cells and data confidence information. In response to the hard decoding process failing to achieve convergence, after the soft data becomes available to the decoder, the soft data is decoded using a soft decoding process. The decoder generates an output of the decoded data after the hard decoding process or the soft decoding process achieves convergence.

    摘要: Outer code words can span multiple data blocks, multiple die, or multiple chips of a memory device to protect against errors in the data stored in the blocks, die and/or chips. A solid state memory device is arranged in multiple data blocks, each block including an array of memory cells arranged in a plurality of pages. The data is encoded into inner code words and symbol-based outer code words. The inner code words and the symbol-based outer code words are stored in the memory cells of the multiple blocks. One or more inner code words are stored in each page of each block and one or more symbols of each outer code word are stored in at least one page of each block. The inner code words and the outer code words are read from the memory device and are used to correct the errors in the data.

    摘要: A method and apparatus is provided for synchronizing a clock signal by generating time varying PLL phase coefficients which approximate optimal PLL phase coefficients. An acquisition mode phase coefficient is determined by adding an error signal (A) to the sample counter (k) and finding the reciprocal of the result (1/(A+k)). The reciprocal can be calculated in hardware or determined by using a lookup table. A tracking mode phase coefficient is determined based on the error signal for use in the PLL during a track a tracking period. The tracking period begins when the tracking mode coefficient is greater than the acquisition mode coefficient.
