  • Patent number: 5293275
    Abstract: A floppy disk recording data regeneration system having a voltage-controlled delay circuit, voltage-controlled data phase shifting circuit and a loop filter made up of a first-stage low-pass filter with a first cut-off frequency, and a second-stage low-pass filter with a second cut-off frequency lower than the first cut-off frequency. The output voltage of the second-stage low-pass filter drives the voltage-controlled data phase shifting circuit, and the output voltage of the first-stage low-pass filter drives the voltage-controlled delay circuit. The amount of delay of the oscillation output pulse is adjusted by the voltage-controlled delay circuit to suppress the occurrence of read errors in the event of peak shifts. In the event of a wow and flutter fluctuation, the amount of shift in the phase of the read data signal pulse is finely adjusted to suppress the occurrence of read errors in subsequent stages.
