  • Patent number: 7430085
    Abstract: A signal processing device having a feature of analog-to-digital converting a burst signal has a feature of selecting data bus to notify a disk control device 2 of a conversion result via an NRZ data bus. The disk control device 2 includes means for storing the result of the analog-to-digital conversion of said servo positional signal. The positional signal of a head of the disk device is digitalized in an R/W channel. Sampling for digital conversion is performed in only a window which is defined only in the vicinity of peaks of the positional signal. The values of peaks which are obtained by sampling are averaged by an averaging circuit. This enables the influence of noise occurred outside of the window to be eliminated. Although the noise in the window is sampled, its adverse influence is suppressed by the averaging processing.

  • Patent number: RE39253
    Abstract: Apparatus for recording and/or reproducing user data recorded on a record medium. The apparatus includes record encoder for converting original user data into encoded user data of a predetermined record code and as error correcting code generator for generating original error correcting code data for correcting an error with respect to the encoded user data. A write unit records the encoded user data and the error correcting code on the record medium. A read unit reads the recorded data and the reproduced data is error corrected so as to provide the original user data.
