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 sampled amplitude read channel incorporated within a magnetic disk storage system for reading data recorded tracks on a magnetic medium, where the data comprises user data sectors recorded at varying data rates across a plurality of predefined zones and embedded servo data sectors recorded at the same data rate across the zones. The read channel comprises a timing recovery component for synchronous sampling of a read signal from a magnetic read head positioned over the magnetic medium, a gain control component for adjusting the amplitude of the read signal, and a DC offset component for canceling a DC offset in the read signal. These components are dynamically configured to operate according to whether the read channel is processing user data or embedded servo data.
摘要:
A sampled amplitude read channel is disclosed for reading data recorded on a disk storage medium by detecting an estimated binary sequence from a sequence of discrete time sample values generated by sampling pulses in an analog read signal from a read head positioned over the disk storage medium. The read channel comprises a sampling device, such as an analog-to-digital converter (A/D), for sampling the analog read signal to generate the discrete time sample values and for sampling at least one other auxillary analog input signal, such as a servo control signal. In this manner, performance characteristics of the read channel can be measured, such as the driving current applied to the servo control voice coil motor (VCM), without requiring additional hardware.
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, computes a DC offset in the sample values in real time, and subtracts the DC offset from the read signal. This attenuates the deleterious affect a DC offset has on the detection algorithm used to detect the recorded data, such as the Viterbi detection algorithm.
摘要:
A sampled amplitude read channel is disclosed for disk storage systems which asynchronously samples an analog read signal, adaptively equalizes the resulting discrete time sample values according to a target partial response, extracts synchronous sample values through interpolated timing recovery, and detects digital data from the synchronous sample values using a Viterbi sequence detector. To increase the speed of the read channel, the FIR filters in the equalizer and interpolator are implemented according to a residue number system. Further, the residue number system implementation of the FIR filters uses "one-hot" encoding to decrease power dissipation.
摘要:
A sampled amplitude read channel incorporated within a magnetic disk storage system for reading data recorded in concentric tracks on a magnetic medium, where the data comprises user data sectors recorded at varying data rates across a plurality of predefined zones and embedded servo data sectors recorded at the same data rate across the zones. The sampled amplitude read channel comprises a timing recovery component for synchronous sampling of a read signal from a magnetic read head positioned over the magnetic medium, a gain control component for adjusting the amplitude of the read signal, and a DC offset component for cancelling a DC offset in the read signal. These components are dynamically configured to operate according to whether the read channel is processing user data or embedded servo data. A user data frequency synthesizer and a servo data frequency synthesizer lock the timing recovery component to a reference frequency and provide a coarse center frequency control signal corresponding to the user data or servo data mode. The read channel further employs pipelined reads to reduce the physical gap between sectors on the medium. In addition, an improved sync mark detector and an improved asynchronous servo address mark detector increase the accuracy and reliability of the read channel.

A method and apparatus is provided for reducing interference in circuits. A management strategy is provided to reduce reference spurs and interference in circuits. The management strategy uses a combination of one or more techniques which reduce the digital current, minimize mutual inductance, utilize field cancellation, prevent leakage current, and/or manage impedance. These techniques may be used alone, or preferably, used on combination with one another.

A method for interfacing with a capacitive touch screen is disclosed. The method includes charging an internal capacitor in the touch screen, which internal capacitor is disposed proximate a fixed location on the touch screen and is capable of changing in response to a touch at that location on the touch screen. After charging, value of the charge on the internal capacitor is determined in a manner to reduce effects of interference.
