Abstract:
A system is described for recovering data from a number of sectors, such as the sectors of a hard disk drive (HDD) disk platter, and so forth. The system receives data from the sectors via a read channel and uses a layered data decoder to recover data from the sectors. A memory is coupled with the processor and configured to retain data received from one or more of the sectors, e.g., in retained sector reprocessing (RSR) embodiments. The system is configured to update messages in different circulant layers of the data decoder's parity-check matrix. The system uses one message update order in a processing iteration, and different message update orders in subsequent reprocessing iterations. In some embodiments, layer reordering is used for RSR. In some embodiments, circulant reordering is used for RSR.

Abstract:
An apparatus comprises read channel circuitry and associated signal processing circuitry comprising frontend processing circuitry and backend processing circuitry. The frontend processing circuitry comprises a loop detector and equalizer configured to determine an equalized read channel signal from a read channel signal and a decoding module configured to apply verification and scrambling processing on a decoded read channel signal. The backend processing circuitry comprises a backend detector, an interleaver, a backend decoder, and a de-interleaver configured to perform an iterative decoding process on the equalized read channel signal to determine the decoded read channel signal. The frontend processing circuitry is controlled by a first clock having an associated first clock rate and the backend processing circuitry is controlled by a selected one of the first clock and a second clock having an associated second clock rate determined at least in part by the first clock rate and a maximum clock rate.

An apparatus comprises read channel circuitry and signal processing circuitry associated with the read channel circuitry. The signal processing circuitry comprises a detector and a decoder coupled to the detector. The detector is configured to perform fixed-point detection on a digital data signal using a first set of quantization levels determined based at least in part on a result of a floating-point detection of the digital data signal. The decoder is configured to perform fixed-point decoding on an output of the detector using a second set of quantization levels determined based at least in part on a result of a floating-point decoding of the output of the detector.
Abstract:
A method for determining update candidates in a low-density parity-check decoding process includes dividing the quasi-cyclic columns into groups and identifying an update candidate in each group. One or more of the identified update candidates are then updated.
Abstract:
Techniques are described for constructing maximum transition run (MTR) modulation code based upon a multi-level (ML) run-length limited (RLL) finite state machine (FSM) that implements different sets of penalties. A processor is configured to receive information from a hard disk drive (HDD) via a read channel and recover data from the HDD using MTR modulation code. A memory has computer executable instructions configured for execution by the processor to model a magnetic recording channel as a partial response channel, model a source of information to the magnetic recording channel to provide an optimized Markov source, and construct an MTR modulation code to mimic the optimized Markov source based upon an FSM having a limited transition run length and a multi-level periodic structure. The FSM provides at least two different sets of penalties in a period.

Abstract:
The present inventions are related to systems and methods for data processing, and more particularly to systems and methods for use of a detector output by a data decoder. As an example, a data processing system is discussed that includes a data detector circuit operable to provide a first detector output and a second detector output, and a combining circuit operable to combine a first input derived from the first detector output with a second input derived from the second detector output to yield a combined detector output. The combined detector output includes a unified data set element generated by combining an element of the first input with a corresponding element of the second input.
