    Abstract: A read and analog-to-digital data conversion channel comprising preamplifying circuits (Pre-Amp), automatic gain control circuits (VGA), harmonics filters (MRA), equalizing low pass filters (LPF), a time interleaved analog-to-digital converter (INTERLEAVED ATOD) including a pair of identical analog/digital converters (ATOD_EVEN, ATOD_ODD) functioning in parallel and at a half clock frequency, subdividing the signal path into two parallel paths through said two identical converters, one for even bits and the other for odd bits, and a digital post-processing block (DIGITAL Post Processing) fed by two output streams of said time interleaved converter (INTERLEAVED ATOD) and outputting a reconstructed data stream (DATA) and controlling said circuits, through dedicated digital-to-analog converters (DAC_VGA, DAC_MRA, DAC_FC, DAC_BOOST), means for compensating the offset of the digital-to-analog converters contained in said pair of identical analog-to-digital converters (ATOD_EVEN, ATOD_ODD) of said time interleaved converter (INTERLEAVED ATOD), controlled by said post-processing block (DIGITAL Post Processing) through a digital-to-analog converter, further comprises two distinct offset compensating circuits, each composed of an offset compensating stage (OFFSET_EVEN_STAGE, OFFSET_ODD_STAGE) independently controlled by said digital post-processing block through a dedicated digital-to-analog converter (DAC_OFF_E, DAC_OFF_O), preventing appearance of spurious patterns in frequency domain.

    Abstract: A method of delaying by a certain time interval (Δwp) a transition in a digital data stream (O) fed to a write head of a mass storage device when said transition occurs at a clock phase following the one during which a preceding transition has occurred, for pre-compensating intersymbolic nonlinear interference effects suffered when reading the stored data, comprises feeding to a first circuit (CC1) a digital data stream (I) to be stored and a clock signal (Ck) and outputting from said first circuit (CC1) a pair of digital streams (N, R), a first stream (N) assuming a first logic value every time a transition of said input stream occurs during a clock phase not successive to a clock phase during which a transition of said input stream (I) has occurred, the second stream (R) assuming said first logic value every time a transition of said input stream (I) occurs during a clock phase following a clock phase during which a transition has taken place in said input stream (I); feeding said two digital stream (N, R) and said clock signal (Ck) to as many inputs of a second circuit (DC1) and outputting from said second circuit said digital data stream (O) directed to the write head, in which the transitions immediately following a preceding transition are delayed by said pre-established time interval (Δwp), by sampling the two digital streams (N, R) with a pair of flip-flops (FN2, FR2), each of which is respectively timed by clock signals respectively delayed by a certain different time interval (Δn, Δr) and such that the difference between said different delay intervals is equal to said pre-established time interval ( Δn-Δr=Δwp ) and recombining the signals output from said pair of flip-flops (FN2, FR2) through an logic XOR gate (X1) into said digital data stream (O).
