4.6 Read/write Circuit

(3) Flash digitizer circuit

This circuit is 10-tap sampled analog transversal filter circuit that cosine-equalizes the head read signal to the partial response class 4 (EPR4) waveform.

(4) 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.

(5) 16/17 GCR decoder

This circuit converts the 17-bit read data into the 16-bit NRZ data.

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 12 zones to set the data transfer rate.

The MPU transfers the data transfer rate setup data (SD/SC) to the RDC that includes the Digital PLL circuit to change the data transfer rate.
