摘要:
A playback signal processing circuit for reducing decode errors and enabling high-density digital magnetic recording and a digital magnetic recording reproducing unit using the playback signal processing circuit are provided. An estimated waveform generation circuit uses the decoding result of a PRML channel to generate an ideal playback signal waveform. A subtractor provides a waveform representing a difference between the waveform and an actual playback signal. There is a high probability that error bits will occur at an interval of two or four bits because of the nature of GCR code and maximum-likelihood decoding; in the error state of each bit, one bit is incremented by one with respect to the correct bit value and the other signal bit is decremented by one. From this fact, an error detection circuit discriminates an error difference waveform pattern and an error discrimination circuit detects an error bit interval, whereby an error correction circuit carries out error bit correction.

摘要:
Reproducing apparatus with an A/D (analog-to-digital) converter, which realizes high-accuracy data sampling, high-speed data transfer, low dissipation power and low cost. PR (partial response) processing is performed by receiving encoded signals, delaying the received signals on the basis of a reference clock, and adding the delayed signals and the received signals in analog signal form. The added signals are converted into digital values on the basis of the reference clock by the A/D converter, and Viterbi decoding is performed on the basis of the converted digital values. Owing to the PR processing which is performed at a stage preceding the A/D converter, a frequency band for the A/D conversion can be lowered, and hence, the high-accuracy data sampling is permitted.

A signal processing device having a feature of analog-to-digital converting a burst signal has a feature of selecting data bus to notify a disk control device 2 of a conversion result via an NRZ data bus. The disk control device 2 includes means for storing the result of the analog-to-digital conversion of said servo positional signal. The positional signal of a head of the disk device is digitalized in an R/W channel. Sampling for digital conversion is performed in only a window which is defined only in the vicinity of peaks of the positional signal. The values of peaks which are obtained by sampling are averaged by an averaging circuit. This enables the influence of noise occurred outside of the window to be eliminated. Although the noise in the window is sampled, its adverse influence is suppressed by the averaging processing.

The recording and reproducing apparatus comprises an Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) controller, an optical disc device, a magnetic disc device, a disc controller which controls the optical disc device and the magnetic disc device, connectors which connects directly the optical disc device and the magnetic disc device, and a selector which selects one of the optical disc device and the magnetic disc device. A Copy or Verify command is carried out within the apparatus without an SCSI bus, and data are transferred through the connector. Therefore occupation of the SCSI bus and overhead of the SCSI protocol are eliminated, and the apparatus is miniaturized by common use of the SCSI controller and the disc controller.
摘要:
A peripheral equipment control LSI interposed between an SCSI bus connected to a main CPU and peripheral equipment such as a file device. The LSI is divided into two major blocks. One block recognizes an SCSI protocol ID signal sent over the SCSI bus. The other block generates a signal that causes the other block to leave a sleep state (low power dissipation mode). In a sate in which a command is awaited from the main CPU, the peripheral equipment control LSI allows the block containing the ID recognition part to remain active while the other block is kept in the sleep state. On receiving an ID-based selected (access) signal from the main CPU, the LSI detects the start of an access operation and causes the other block to leave its sleep state and to become active.
