摘要： A measurement circuit is provided to obtain data for monitoring the quality of performance from a digital read channel. Elements of the digital read channel including a sequence detector are incorporated into an integrated circuit together with the measurement circuit. The measurement circuit relates digitized samples of readback data from a magnetic storage device to surrounding samples so that particular samples can be collected in accordance with their surroundings. The circuit includes a programmable time window which can be repeatedly opened for data collection. The circuit is designed to collect various types of data including the bit error rate, sample value, squared sample error, squared gain error, squared timing error, and the occurrences of sample error when it is outside an acceptable programmable threshold. The measurement circuit includes a signal generator for producing a test pattern that is first stored and then read to produce the digitized readback sample values. The measurement circuit also includes a conversion circuit for converting the test pattern to a sequence of expected sample values in accordance with a state machine model of the sequence detector. The sample value error results from a comparison of the readback sample value to the expected sample value.

摘要： A channel quality circuit, incorporated within a sampled amplitude read channel utilized in a magnetic storage system, for processing and accumulating performance data from the individual read channel components, wherein the performance data is used to calibrate the read channel to operate in a particular environment, to estimate the bit error rate of the storage system, and to detect defects in the magnetic medium. The channel quality circuit generates a test pattern of digital data which is written to the storage system. Then, as the test pattern is read from the storage system, the channel quality circuit accumulates performance data from the read channel components. The test pattern is used to generate expected samples and expected sample errors relative to the samples read by the read channel. Gating logic is programmed to accumulate only the particular performance data of interest. The channel quality circuit computes auto and cross-correlations, squared errors, and threshold comparisons. A defect detection filter detects particular defects in the media. In order to predict the bit error rate of the storage system, the channel quality circuit accumulates noise auto-correlation data, confidence metrics from a sequence detector, and cross-correlation of expected sample errors with actual sample errors.

摘要： A filter for compensating discrete secondary pulse formations associated with a data stream of discrete main pulses produced from data read from magnetic media. The filter's impulse response comprises a center coefficient with side compensating coefficients for attenuating the secondary pulses when the input signal is convolved with the impulse response. The magnitude and delay of the compensation coefficients are programmable and are adaptively adjusted to optimize the impulse response for a given environment. In a traditional FIR embodiment, two delay lines are used to generate the two programmable delays between the center coefficient and side compensation coefficients. In the preferred embodiment, an IIR filter provides the two programmable delays using only one delay line thereby reducing the size and cost of the circuit. Also in the preferred embodiment, the data stream is interleaved into an even and odd data stream and processed in parallel by two filters in order to double the throughput. Further, the pre-cursor correcting portion of the filter can be disabled in order to avoid delaying the data stream while still canceling the post-cursor secondary pulses. The filter also comprises attenuation and adder means to match the coincident sample values in amplitude and add them to substantially eliminate the effect of the secondary pulses in the discrete data stream.
