摘要： A digital data clock control loop for reconstructing the asynchronous data clock in a recording channel. The Discrete Time Control Loop (DTCL) implementation is suitable for monolithic digital embodiment and uses no analog components, providing stable operation at widely varying clock rates without hardware oscillators. The DTCL also can supply the clocking function to recover synchronous samples in an asynchronous data sampling system.

摘要： A method and apparatus to read information from an information storage medium using a read channel, where that read channel includes a data cache. The invention generates an analog waveform comprising the information, and provides that analog waveform to a read channel, and generates a digital signal from that analog waveform using one or more first operating parameters. The method error corrects that digital signal at an actual error correction rate, and determines if the actual error correction rate is greater than an error correction rate threshold.

Thereafter, the method uses those one or more second operating parameters to read the information from the information storage medium.

摘要： A system is provided to encode data for recording onto media whereby modulation and linear constraints from a concatenated code or product code are imposed. A first array of unencoded user data is generated. Each row is modulation encoded to enforce a first modulation constraint; the array is transformed into a second array which is transformed into a third array having predetermined empty locations in each column interleaved with the modulated data. A C2-parity byte is computed for at least some of the empty locations of the third array and a fourth array is generated. C1-parity symbols in each row are computed, generating a fifth array. A second modulation constraint is enforced on each C1-parity symbol in each row of the fifth array, generating a sixth array. The rows of the sixth array are assembled with header and sync fields for recording onto a recording media.
