Abstract:
Systems and method relating generally to data processing, and more particularly to systems and methods for tone reduction in relation to data transmission. In one case, a data processing system is disclosed that includes: a two stage tone reduction circuit including a first stage circuit and a second stage circuit; and a polarity change circuit operable to change a polarity of the second stage output to yield a tone reduction output.

Abstract:
Systems and method relating generally to data processing, and more particularly to systems and methods for utilizing multiple data streams for data recovery from a storage device. As an example, a data processing system is discussed that includes a first read head and a second read head each operable to sense information on a storage medium. A synthesizer circuit is operable to determine a quality metric based upon a signal to noise ratio of a first preamble pattern compared with a signal to noise ratio of a second preamble pattern. A balancing circuit is operable to generate a composite output as a combination of a first data set derived from the first read head a second data set derived from the second read head based at least in part on the quality metric.
Abstract:
A data processing system includes a binary data detector having a hard decision output, a reliability calculator operable to calculate an error pattern reliability metric for each of a number of dominant error patterns associated with the hard decision output, and a converter operable to convert the error pattern reliability metrics to multi-level soft information.
