摘要:
A digital magnetic reproducing apparatus comprises a reproducing head to reproduce data from a magnetic recording medium; an equalizer for shaping, by a partial response method, the waveform of the reproduced signal outputted from the reproducing head; and a decoder for decoding, by a maximum likelihood decoding method, the equalized reproduced signal obtained from the equalizer. The reproducing head employed in this apparatus is an MR (magnetoresistance effect) head which is capable of reducing the second harmonic distortion of the reproduced signal to be -25 dB or lower. Therefore the deterioration of the bit error rate that may result from the nonlinear distortion of the MR head can be further lowered within a sufficiently suppressed range in practical use.

A highly reliable magnetic recording and playback apparatus utilizes an independent magnetic clock pattern region and a pattern set region to provide a common timing reference between a data recording region and its adjacent tracks. In the apparatus, the pattern set region provides a reference point so that the circumferential location of the magnetic pattern region can be determined. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes elements for playback of reproduced information recorded on a magnetic disk and an arrangement which provides for the generation of a data existing point clock.

To increase the recording capacity of a magnetic disc, tracks of this magnetic disc are divided into a number of sectors, with each sector being formed from a number of segments. Each segment is basically made up of a data region and a servo region with data being recorded on the data region and a clock pattern which becomes the basis for generation of a clock, a fine pattern which becomes the basis for the tracking operation, and an access pattern which becomes the basis for a seek operation being recorded on the servo region. An ID region and servo region are formed before the data region and servo region which make up the leading segment with the sector ID for this region being recorded in this ID region. After this ID has been read from this ID region, while it is being determined whether or not this ID is the same as the designated ID, the servo operation corresponding to the servo control signal occurring in the servo region is carried out. In this way, the recording of data corresponding to the data in the data region can commence straight after the ID has been decided upon.

There is disclosed a magnetic disk device of the external synchronization system using a head assembly of the recording/reproducing heads separation type. This magnetic device comprises: a reproducing head for reproducing data from a magnetic disk; a clock signal generator for generating a clock signal on the basis of a reproduced signal corresponding to a clock pattern from the reproducing head; a delay circuit for delaying recording data relative to the clock signal generated at the clock signal generator; a recording head for recording the recording data delayed by the delay circuit onto the magnetic disk; a position detecting circuit for detecting head position information (e.g., track number) in a disk radial direction of the recording head on the basis of the reproduced signal from the reproducing head; and a control circuit for controlling a quantity of delay of the delay circuit on the basis of head position information from the position detecting circuit and a predetermined magnetization reversal pattern.
