  • Publication number: 20050078758
    Abstract: In training a SERDES, a Common Electrical Interface (CEI) training frame, having certain bits of information embedded therein, is transmitted over a path which comprises transmitter, channel, and receiver components. The present invention analyzes the resulting received signal and determines the effective aggregate channel impulse response of these three components. The invention then determines an estimate of the inverse of this aggregate channel and uses this determination to reduce distortions that have been introduced into a signal that has been transmitted over the path.

  • Publication number: 20050068650
    Abstract: A repeatable run-out (RRO) detector employs one or more digital interpolators to interpolate asynchronous sample values representing an RRO address mark (AM) and RRO data, and an asynchronous maximum-likelihood (AML) detector to detect the RRO AM. The AML detector selects one of either the asynchronous or interpolated sample sequences that are closest in distance to the ideal RRO AM sample sequence. In addition, a gain value is generated for each of the asynchronous and interpolated sample sequences. Once the RRO AM is detected, the AML detector provides a RRO AM found signal. Gain estimate values for either the selected asynchronous or selected interpolated sample sequences corresponding to the RRO AM found signal are averaged over a predefined number of detection events to generate a best gain error metric (BGEM). The BGEM is employed to adjust the gain of the asynchronous sample sequence.
