Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To constitute a fourth cell which operates with a low supply power, does not require any floating capacitance, and has a low capacitance load at its input terminal. SOLUTION: A high-pass filter constituted of a current generating circuit 29 which is particularly used for high frequencies, has at least each one of input terminal IN and output terminal OUT, between which a transfer function (Fdt) is formed, incorporates serially arranged transconductance stages 2-5, is connected between a pair of stages 2 and 3 of a fourth cell 18 and a reference voltage (GND), and generates variable currents iK1 and iK2 . The circuit 29 makes the introduction of a programmable zero to the transfer function (Fdt) of the filter 20 possible.

Abstract: PURPOSE: To obtain a partial response signal (PRML) device by maximum likelihood sequence detection displaying no conventional fault. CONSTITUTION: This device has a variable gain input amplifier 21, a low-pass analog filter 22, a transversal continuous-time analog filter 23, and two separate parallel sampling channels 24, 34 inserted between the transversal analog filter 23 and a finite run length-non-return-to-zero type decoder 25.

Abstract: PURPOSE: To facilitate the decoder of an operation mode by programming one of the output stream of the single bit of decoded data and the dual bit output stream of the decoded data. CONSTITUTION: The second re-timed output signals of a flip-flop B are supplied to the other input 1 of a MUX OUT multiplexer and the input of a forth flip- flop BB and the signals are sampled as the flip-flop AA by a second fractional clock frequency VCO/3. In this case, by performing different selection between the two inputs of an output multiplexers and selecting the one input, a single bit decoding NRZ stream becomes utilizable in the output of this decoder.

Abstract: PURPOSE: To provide a survival sequence register of a simple structure having high reliability, by receiving a stream of logical sum of serial input streams SWP and SWN from G1, causing a first shift register F7 -F14 to remove spurious components, and causing a control circuit to generate an erase signal. CONSTITUTION: A survival sequence register is supplied with inputs of coded digital signals SWP, SWN corresponding to positive/negative certification peaks from a pickup and a clock signal CLK, and includes a variable threshold qualification circuit. The survival sequence register receives a logical sum output of SWP, SWN from an OR circuit G1 and removes spurious components by a shift register made of flip-flops F7 -F14 . A control circuit generates an erase signal. A second pointer shift register shifts through F7 -F14 and points out logic '1' of a sequence preceding logic '1' corresponding to a detection peak of the same code corresponding to the preceding logic '1'. With this structure, an SSR for variable threshold certification for channel recording having a simple structure and high reliability may be provided.

Abstract: PURPOSE: To prevent the generation of errors by the transmission delay of signals by storing bits finally processed in a second combinational logic network (RC1) in a shift register, predicting the time when (n) bits are process in a first RC1 and synthesizing the signals in a second RC2. CONSTITUTION: The first RC1 processes the Q output tap (6:0) value of an FF for forming the shift register SR prior to the processing by the second RC2 of the corresponding bit for the complete two cycles of a synchronous block signal VCO. In order to secure the utilization of the entire cycle of the clock signal VCO which is a corresponding decoding value ND1 in the input D of the output register (FF) of a decoding NRZ output stream, a frequency which is partial compared to the base synchronous clock signal VCO in front of the rising front of a first clock signal and matched with the bit number ratio of input and output streams is provided. The bit finally processed in the RC2 is tentatively stored in the shift registers Q1-Q7, the time when the (n) bits are processed in the RC1 is predicted and the signals are synthesized in the RC2.

Abstract: PURPOSE: To eliminate the equivalent input offset of a comparator stage by cyclically inverting the connection of the input terminal of a comparator for supplying input signals after a detected zero cross. CONSTITUTION: After detecting that the zero cross is generated, comparison is performed with a minimum interval between the optional continuous two times of the zero crosses of the input signals S1 and an output state taken by the comparator G1 for practically small preliminarily set time is stored. This circuit is realized by using a deviater D for switching the input connection of the comparator G1 for supplying output signals S2 to the clock input terminal CK of a flip-flop for storing the output state. The flip-flop is sensitive to the unidirectional transition of clock signals S2 and the deviater D is driven by signals S7 delayed for a preliminarily set time interval by a delay circuit.

Abstract: In a decoder for decoding a serial data stream, employing an extracted base clock signal, synchronous with an input, coded, serial data stream, a fractionary frequency clock signal for sampling a decoded output data stream and a second fractionary clock signal for synthesizing a pre-decoded value produced by a first combinative logic network within a second combinative logic network to produce a decoded value that is sent to an output sampling flip-flop, a pipelined operation is implemented by momentarily storing the bits that are processed in the second combinative logic network and by anticipating of two full cycles of the synchronous base clock the processing by said first combinative network of the n-number of bits handled by the decoder. Each one of the two combinative logic networks is permitted to complete its decoding process within a full clock cycle in advance of the raising front of the outpunt sampling clock signal. With the same fabrication technology and therefore with the same propagation delay of the two combinative logic networks, the maximum operating spead may be doubled. A limited number of additional components are required to implement the pipelined operation of the invention.
