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. Discrete time timing recovery within the read channel comprises a variable frequency oscillator (VFO) for generating a sampling clock. A center operating frequency of the VFO is adjusted through a programmable register which stores a digital center frequency setting. A phase error is computed from the sample values and combined with the center frequency setting to control the frequency and phase of the sampling clock at the output of the VFO.
