摘要： An unconstrained equalization method and apparatus with gain and timing bias to control runaway are provided for a direct access storage device (DASD) data channel. A direction for moving each of a plurality of tap weights of a finite impulse response (FIR) filter is calculated. New tap weights are determined for each of a plurality of tap weights in the direction. A gain of the FIR filter for the new tap weights is compared with a set threshold gain value. A polarity of a gain bias is set to adjust a gain of a gain loop of the data channel by a preselected amount responsive to the compared gain and set threshold gain values, A phase lag of the FIR filter for the new tap weights is compared with a set threshold phase lag value. A polarity of a timing bias is set to adjust a phase lag of a timing loop of the data channel by a preselected amount responsive to the compared phase lag and set threshold phase lag values.

摘要： Techniques for early detection of degradation in NAND Flash memories by measuring the dispersion of the threshold voltages (VT's), of a set (e.g. page) of NAND Flash memory cells during read operations are described. In an embodiment of the invention the time-to-completion (TTC) values for the read operation for the memory cells are used as a proxy for dispersion of the threshold voltages (VT's). A Dispersion Analyzer determines the dispersion of the set of TTC values. In one embodiment the delta between the maximum and minimum TTC values is used as the dispersion measurement. If the measured TTC dispersion differs by more than a selected amount from a reference dispersion value, a warning signal is provided to indicate that the page of memory has degraded. The warning signal can be used to take appropriate action such as moving the data to a new page.

摘要： Embodiments of the present invention relate to the detection of synchronization marks in data storage and retrieval. To detect a synchronization mark, embodiments of the present invention require both pattern matching and proper phase alignment, following a repeating synchronization field. According to one particular embodiment, proper phase alignment following a repeated four bit synchronization field, is utilized in conjunction with pattern matching, to identify a synchronization mark. By allowing a synchronization mark to be identified only with proper phase alignment at the earliest possible occurrence of the synchronization mark, accuracy of synchronization mark detection may be improved.

摘要： The invention includes apparatus and methods that allow a data storage device perform an enhanced data recovery procedure (DRP) that includes obtaining a new digital sampling of the voltages for the failing unit of data by re-reading the analog signal and converting it to digital form using an analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) using a fixed phase clock signal. The data samples are re-interpolated using a programmable delay line. The digital values representing the voltages are stored a buffer so that the data can be processed repeatedly using varying parameters as part of the data recovery procedure. Optionally the samples stored in the buffer can be processed in the reverse direction (from end of sector to beginning of sector) without requiring modification of the standard Viterbi detector since it inherently works on data processed in either direction.

摘要： A system corrects errors in a bit stream. The system includes an encoder and a decoder. The encoder encodes the bit stream using a low density parity check code by inserting parity check bits into the bit stream to generate codewords. The decoder decodes the codewords using parity check equations that are based on the low density parity check code. The parity check bits may comprise no more than four percent of the bits in the codewords of the low density parity check code. The low density parity check code can have a minimum separation of at least 7 between any two ones in each row of a parity-check matrix that is based on the low density parity check code. The encoder and the decoder can be defined in hardware using logic circuits that are interconnected to implement a trellis based on the low density parity check code.

摘要： A detector generates a detected sequence, and a post processor generates probability values that indicate the likelihood of a plurality of error events in the detected sequence. The post processor partitions the values into first and second subsets. The post processor selects a first most likely value from the first subset of the values and a second most likely value from the second subset of the values. The post processor generates a bit reliability based on the first and the second most likely values.

摘要： Techniques are provided for iteratively decoding data recorded on a data storage device. An iterative decoder decodes the data using multiple decoding iterations to correct errors. In multiple iterations of the iterative decoder, a post processing block generates soft information, and a decoder applies a minimum sum decoding algorithm to a low density parity check (LDPC) code to generate extrinsic information based on the soft information and updated soft information.

摘要： A method and apparatus are provided for implementing soft-input soft-output iterative detectors/decoders. Soft-input information is added directly to incoming channel samples. Input signals comprising the received incoming channel samples with the added soft-input information are detected using a detector trellis. Branch metric terms are transformed to shift all time varying terms with the added soft-input information and some constant terms after an add compare select (ACS) unit. The shifted time varying terms with the added soft-input information and the shifted constant terms are added directly to state metric terms. The soft-input information is added directly to incoming channel samples and the computation of branch metrics is not affected. This allows optimization of a dual-max detector and soft-input soft-output Viterbi detector architectures to minimize hardware complexity and power consumption.
