    摘要: In a sampled amplitude read channel for magnetic recording, a nonlinear discrete time decimation filter in a negative feed back loop adjusts a DC offset in an analog read signal from a magnetic read head without distorting the read signal. In sampled amplitude recording, adding the samples of an isolated positive pulse to the samples of an isolated negative pulse generates the DC offset of the discrete time sample values. A decimation filter adds the sample values from a positive pulse to the sample values of a negative pulse in order to detect and pass the DC offset in the read signal. The detected discrete time DC offset from the discrete time decimation filter is converted into an analog DC offset signal and subtracted from the analog read signal in a negative feedback loop. A running average decimation filter removes the DC offset during acquisition, and a decision-directed decimation filter removes the DC offset during tracking.

    摘要: A synchronous read channel is disclosed which samples an analog read signal from a magnetic read head positioned over a magnetic disk medium, filters the sample values according to a desired partial response, extracts timing information from the filtered sample values, and detects an estimated data sequence from the filtered sample values using a discrete time sequence detector. To ensure a small frequency error when timing recovery acquisition mode is entered, the timing recovery phase-lock loop (PLL) is first locked to a nominal read frequency which is the same as the write frequency. This is accomplished by multiplexing the output of the write frequency synthesizer into the timing recovery PLL in a lock-to-reference mode. Thereafter, the analog signal from the read head is multiplexed into the timing recovery PLL in order to acquire the actual frequency and phase of an acquisition preamble recorded prior to the user data.

    摘要: This invention provides apparatus and a method to assist in calibrating a read channel in a magnetic data storage system. More particularly, the invention provides a read channel including a digital noise generator. During a calibration procedure, the digital noise generator injects an analog noise signal into the read channel, thereby increasing the read channel's bit-error rate, and consequently allowing rapid calibration of the read channel. The digital noise generator comprises a number of linear feedback shift registers that together generate a pseudo-random digital word sequence, and a digital-to-analog converter that converts the pseudo-random digital word sequence into the analog noise signal. The digital-to-analog converter comprises a plurality of one-bit digital-to-analog converters whose outputs are summed by an analog adder. This configuration causes the analog noise signal to exhibit a binomial probability distribution which is close to a normal probability distribution for a sufficiently large number of linear feedback shift registers. The linear feedback shift registers are driven by a clock that operates at a higher frequency than the rate at which data is processed in the read channel. The analog noise signal, therefore, has bandwidth that is wider than that of the data, thereby insuring that calibration of the read channel includes effects due to aliasing. The digital noise generator is disabled while the read head passes over synchronization marks and embedded servo wedges.
