    摘要: A method, apparatus, and system are provided for implementing spin-torque oscillator sensing with an enhanced integrated demodulator for hard disk drives. The demodulator receives an input signal from a STO read sensor having an oscillation frequency ω related to the strength of the detected magnetic signal field. The demodulator includes a pair of mixers coupled to a quadrature reference oscillator with respective quadrature components cos(ω0t), and sin(ω0t) of the quadrature reference oscillator being mixed with a received input signal to form signals at the sum and difference frequencies, ω±ω0. Each of these mixer products is lowpass filtered by a respective a lowpass filter to remove the sum frequency components for providing a demodulator output signal that is directly proportional the STO oscillation frequency ω. The demodulator output signal is used for processing by data detection electronics.

    摘要: Techniques for early detection of degradation in NAND Flash memories by measuring the dispersion of the threshold voltages (VT's), of a set (e.g. page) of NAND Flash memory cells during read operations are described. In an embodiment of the invention the time-to-completion (TTC) values for the read operation for the memory cells are used as a proxy for dispersion of the threshold voltages (VT's). A Dispersion Analyzer determines the dispersion of the set of TTC values. In one embodiment the delta between the maximum and minimum TTC values is used as the dispersion measurement. If the measured TTC dispersion differs by more than a selected amount from a reference dispersion value, a warning signal is provided to indicate that the page of memory has degraded. The warning signal can be used to take appropriate action such as moving the data to a new page.

    摘要: A system corrects errors in a bit stream. The system includes an encoder and a decoder. The encoder encodes the bit stream using a low density parity check code by inserting parity check bits into the bit stream to generate codewords. The decoder decodes the codewords using parity check equations that are based on the low density parity check code. The parity check bits may comprise no more than four percent of the bits in the codewords of the low density parity check code. The low density parity check code can have a minimum separation of at least 7 between any two ones in each row of a parity-check matrix that is based on the low density parity check code. The encoder and the decoder can be defined in hardware using logic circuits that are interconnected to implement a trellis based on the low density parity check code.
