Various systems and methods for power management are disclosed herein. For example, a synchronous semiconductor circuit is disclosed that includes two or more clock sources and a power management controller. The power management controller is operable to apply power to one of the clock sources and to select another of the clock sources for synchronization of the circuit. Then, upon stabilization of the first clock source, it is selected by the power management controller to synchronize the circuit.

A modular, adaptive power management system includes a hard disk drive controller, a read channel module, a host interface controller and a power manager system. The hard disk controller includes a processor executing firmware, and the host interface controller provides for host access via a host interface. The system includes a power island register and an oscillation control register. Both registers are writable via the firmware and via the host interface. The hard disk controller, the interface controller, the read channel module and the power manager system are implemented across two or more distinct power islands and use two or more distinct clocks. Power to the two or more distinct power islands is at least in part controlled by the power manager system via the power island register, and the two or more distinct clocks are each controlled by the power manager system via the oscillation control register.

Various systems and methods for power management are disclosed herein. For example, a modular, adaptive power management system for use in a hard disk drive system is disclosed. This modular, adaptive power management system includes a hard disk drive controller, a read channel module, a host interface controller and a power manager system. The hard disk controller includes a processor executing firmware, and the host interface controller provides for host access via a host interface. The host interface may be, for example, an ATA interface, a SATA interface, and/or other emerging serial interfaces such as MMC, CE-ATA or SDIO. The power manager system includes a power island register and an oscillation control register. Both the power island register and the oscillation control register are each at least indirectly writable via the firmware and via the host interface. The hard disk controller, the interface controller, the read channel module and the power manager system are implemented across two or more distinct power islands and use two or more distinct clocks. Power to the two or more distinct power islands is at least in part controlled by the power manager system via the power island register, and the two or more distinct clocks are each controlled by the power manager system via the oscillation control register.

Various embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for media defect detection. For example, a media defect detection systems is disclosed that includes a data input derived from a medium, a fast envelope calculation circuit that receives the data input and provides a fast decay envelope value based on the data input, a slow envelope calculation circuit that receives the data input and provides a slow decay envelope value based on the data input, and a media defect detection circuit. The media defect detection circuit receives the slow decay envelope value and the fast decay envelope value, calculates a ratio value of the fast decay envelope value to the slow decay envelope value, and asserts a defect output based at least in part on the comparison of the ratio value to a defect threshold value.

Methods and structure described herein provide for adjusting an error correction capability of an LDPC error correction code. For example, the system of one embodiment includes a decoder adapted to decode data that has been encoded with a LDPC error correction code. The system also includes a detector communicatively coupled to the decoder and adapted to estimate bit values in the data prior to decoding by the decoder. The detector is further adapted to change bit values based on bit value estimations to reduce the error correction capability of the LDPC error correction code. The reduction in error correction capability is adjustable such that sector failure rates of storage devices may be incrementally analyzed.
