    • 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.
    • 用于补偿与从磁介质读取的数据产生的离散主脉冲的数据流相关联的离散次级脉冲形成的滤波器。 滤波器的脉冲响应包括具有侧补偿系数的中心系数,用于当输入信号与脉冲响应卷积时衰减次级脉冲。 补偿系数的幅度和延迟可编程,并进行自适应调整,以优化给定环境的脉冲响应。 在传统的FIR实施例中,使用两条延迟线来产生中心系数和侧面补偿系数之间的两个可编程延迟。 在优选实施例中,IIR滤波器仅使用一个延迟线提供两个可编程延迟,从而减小电路的尺寸和成本。 同样在优选实施例中,数据流被交织成偶数和奇数数据流,并且由两个滤波器并行处理,以使吞吐量翻倍。 此外,可以禁用滤波器的前光标校正部分,以避免在仍然取消后光标次级脉冲的同时延迟数据流。 滤波器还包括衰减和加法器装置,以使幅度上重合的采样值相匹配,并将它们相加,以基本上消除离散数据流中次级脉冲的影响。

    • A sampled amplitude read channel reads data from a magnetic medium by detecting digital data from a sequence of discrete time sample values generated by sampling an analog read signal from a read head positioned over the magnetic medium. The digital data comprises a preamble field followed by a sync mark followed by a data field. Timing recovery in the read channel synchronizes to a phase and frequency of the preamble field and a sync detector detects the sync mark in order to frame operation of an RLL decoder for decoding the detected data field. To decrease the probability of early misdetection, the sync mark is chosen to have minimum correlation with shifted versions of the sync mark concatenated with the preamble field. To further increase the fault tolerance, the sync mark detector is enabled by timing recovery relative to the end of the preamble field. A state machine in timing recovery generates expected sample values used to acquire the preamble field, and a current state of the state machine indicates when the preamble ends relative to a predetermined clock interval. In this manner, the search for an appropriate sync mark need only look for minimum correlation during shifts at the predetermined clock interval, thereby increasing the fault tolerant characteristic of the sync mark.
    • 采样幅度读取通道从通过从位于磁性介质上的读取头采样模拟读取信号而产生的离散时间采样值的序列中检测数字数据,从磁性介质读取数据。 数字数据包括前同步码字段,随后是同步标记,后跟数据字段。 读通道中的定时恢复与前同步码字段的相位和频率同步,并且同步检测器检测同步标记,以便对RLL解码器进行帧操作,以对检测到的数据字段进行解码。 为了降低早期错误检测的可能性,选择同步标记与与前同步码字段连接的同步标记的移位版本具有最小相关性。 为了进一步增加容错能力,同步标记检测器通过相对于前同步码字段结束的定时恢复来启用。 定时恢复中的状态机产生用于获取前导字段的预期采样值,并且状态机的当前状态指示前导码相对于预定时钟间隔何时结束。 以这种方式,搜索适当的同步标记仅需要在预定时钟间隔期间寻找在移位期间的最小相关性,从而增加同步标记的容错特性。

    • A disk storage system is disclosed wherein user data received from a host system is first encoded according to a first channel code having a high code rate, and then encoded according to an ECC code, such as a Reed-Solomon code, wherein the ECC redundancy symbols are encoded according to a second channel code having low error propagation. In the preferred embodiment, the first channel code is a RLL (d,k) code having a long k constraint which allows for longer block lengths (and higher code rates). During read back, a synchronous read channel samples the analog read signal a synchronously and interpolates the asynchronous sample values to generate sample values substantially synchronized to the baud rate. In contrast to conventional synchronous-sampling timing recovery, interpolated timing recovery can tolerate a longer RLL k constraint because it is less sensitive to noise in the read signal and not affected by process variations in fabrication. Additionally, a trellis sequence detector detects an estimated binary sequence from the synchronous sample values, wherein a state transition diagram of the trellis detector is configured according to the code constraints of the first and second channel codes. The estimated binary sequence output by the sequence detector is buffered in a data buffer to facilitate the error detection and correction process, and to allow for retroactive and split-segment symbol synchronization using multiple sync marks.

    • A servo decoder is disclosed for disc storage systems that operates according to a novel coding scheme capable of accurately decoding detected codewords representing servo track address during seek operations, even when the recording head flies between two adjacent tracks, and capable of correcting errors in the detected codedwords caused by noise in the read signal, such as inter-symbol interference. In a first embodiment, the coding scheme comprises an error correcting code (ECC) capable of correcting a predetermined number of bit errors in the detected codewords. To achieve the equivalent effect of a conventional Gray code, the codewords are arranged such that adjacent track addresses differ by a number of bits equal to the minimum distance of the ECC code. In a second embodiment, the servo code corrects certain minimum distance error events associated with a trellis type sequence detector. To achieve the equivalent effect of a conventional Gray code in this embodiment, the codewords are arranged such that adjacent track addresses differ by a number of bits relative to the minimum distance error events corrected. In this manner, when the recording head spans two adjacent tracks during a seek operation, the ambiguity in the detected codeword will be resolved in favor of one of the adjacent track addresses. Further, due to the error correcting capabilities of the code, the present invention improves the performance of servo seeking and tracking operations, and allows the servo data to be recorded at a higher density.

    • A rate ½, d=1 channel code encodes a Gray code servo track address into channel data recorded on a magnetic disk; a d=1 Viterbi sequence detector detects the recorded servo track address upon read back; a cost effective d=1 decoder decodes the recorded servo track address into its Gray code representation; and a 1/1+D filter decodes the Gray code track address into its binary representation. The channel encoding scheme increases the data density of the storage system due to the d=1 constraint and use of the Viterbi sequence detector. Further, the implementation advantageously uses the Viterbi sequence detector already provided in a read channel for detecting user data, and the cost and complexity of the decoder is reduced by encoding/decoding the Gray code track address in sections of five bits.

    • In a disk storage system for digital computers (e.g., optical or magnetic disk drives) a sampled amplitude read channel is disclosed comprising a convolutional code channel encoder for encoding check bits into channel data recorded to a disk storage medium, a trellis sequence detector for detecting a preliminary sequence from read signal sample values generated during read back, a convolutional code syndrome generator for generating an error syndrome from the preliminary sequence, and a post processor for evaluating the error syndrome to detect and correct errors made by the trellis sequence detector. The post processor remodulates the preliminary sequence output by the trellis sequence detector into a sequence of estimated sample values which are subtracted from the actual read signal sample values to form a sequence of sample errors. When the error syndrome indicates the presence of an error in the preliminary sequence, the post processor processes the sample errors to determine the most likely location of the error and corrects it. The convolution code provides a significant performance gain due to its high rate and capacity to detect several of the dominant error events associated with the trellis sequence detector.
