A method and apparatus for data coding for high-density recording channels exhibiting low frequency contents is disclosed. Coding is used that satisfies both Running Digital Sum (RDS) and Maximum Transition Run (MTR) properties, which are desirable for achieving high-density recording for recording channels exhibiting low frequency components such as perpendicular magnetic recording channel.

摘要:
A data storage system includes an encoder subsystem comprising an error correction code encoder, a modulation encoder, and a precoder, and a decoder subsystem similarly comprising a detector, an inverse precoder, a channel decoder, and an error correction code decoder. The error correction encoder applies an error correction code to the incoming user bit stream, and the modulation encoder applies so-called modulation or constrained coding to the error correction coded bit stream. The precoder applies so-called precoding to the modulation encoded bit stream. However, this precoding is applied to selected portions of the bit stream only. There can also be a permutation step where the bit sequence is permuted after the modulation encoder before precoding is applied by the precoder. The decoder subsystem operates in the inverse manner.

An apparatus for providing data dependent detection in a data read channel is disclosed. Parameters in a read channel are dynamically adjusted according to data dependent noise. For example, a comparison in an add-compare-select (ACS) unit of a Viterbi decoder may be adjusted or offset terms in error event filters may be biased to choose a Viterbi sequence with more transitions or to compensate for polarity dependent noise.

An apparatus for providing dynamic equalizer optimization is disclosed. The present invention solves the above-described problems by providing equalizer coefficient updates that converge towards the same solution as the direct method without having to first write a known pattern to the disk or requiring any prior knowledge of the data already written on the disk. The adaptive cosine function may be used to modify only a DFIR tap set, only the j and k parameters of a cosine equalizer or to modify both the tap set for a DFIR filter and the j and k parameters of the cosine equalizer. Another algorithm, such as the LMS algorithm, may be used to modify parameters not modified by the cosine algorithm.

An apparatus that uses a lengthened equalization target filter with a matched filter metric in a Viterbi detector is disclosed. The equalization target includes a base partial response component, i.e., (1−D2), a fractional coefficient polynomial component to whiten the noise, i.e., (1+p1D+p2D2), and a time-reversed replica of the noise-whitening component. Thus, the time-reversed replica of the noise-whitening component comes from what was formerly a matched filter component.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for providing a read channel having combined parity and non-parity post processing is disclosed. A post-processor combines parity and non-parity post processing to make both parity and non-parity corrections so that error events that cannot be detected by parity may be corrected. Non-parity detectable error events are only kept for consideration if their likelihood is above a set threshold.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for providing error correction capability to longitudinal position data are disclosed. Initially, data are encoded via a set of even LPOS words and a set of odd LPOS words. The encoded data are then decoded by generating a set of syndrome bits for each of the LPOS words. A determination is then made as to whether or not there is an error within one of the LPOS words based on its corresponding syndrome bits.

Method and apparatus for decoding data in a data storage system. In operation, a detector generates an output bit stream in dependence on a data block received from a storage subsystem of the data storage system. A post processor connected to the detector generates a first error corrected bit stream in dependence on the output bit stream and the data block. An error correction decoder connected to the post processor generates a second error corrected bit stream in dependence on the first error corrected bit stream and also generates a checksum in dependence of the second error corrected bit stream. A feedback path supplies from the error correction decoder to the post processor pinning data indicative of locations of correct bits in the second error corrected bit stream in the event that the checksum is indicative of errors in the second error corrected bit stream and the second error corrected bit stream comprises at least one correct interleave. The post processor regenerates the first error corrected bit stream in dependence on the pinning data received from the error correction decoder.
