4.6 Read/write Circuit
C141-E217 4-11
(3) FIR circuit
This circuit is 10-tap sampled analog transversal filter circuit that equalizes the
head read signal to the Modified Extended Partial Response (MEEPR) waveform.
(4) A/D converter circuit
This circuit changes Sampled Read Data Pulse from the FIR circuit into Digital
Read Data.
(5) Viterbi detection circuit
The sample hold waveform output from the flash digitizer circuit is sent to the
Viterbi detection circuit. The Viterbi detection circuit demodulates data according
to the survivor path sequence.
4.6.4 Digital PLL circuit
The drive uses constant density recording to increase total capacity. This is
different from the conventional method of recording data with a fixed data transfer
rate at all data area. In the constant density recording method, data area is divided
into zones by radius and the data transfer rate is set so that the recording density of
the inner cylinder of each zone is nearly constant. The drive divides data area into
30 zones to set the data transfer rate.
The MPU set the data transfer rate setup data (SD/SC) to the RDC that includes
the Digital PLL circuit to change the data transfer rate.
