PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques which address the problem of mismatch between data conversion elements in DACs and ADCs. SOLUTION: The noise shaper includes first and second quantizers and first and second feedback paths each providing feedback from a corresponding quantizer output. A loop filter system implements a plurality of transfer functions including a first non-zero transfer function between the first feedback path and an input of the first quantizer, a second non-zero transfer function between the first feedback path and an input of the second quantizer, a third non-zero transfer function between the second feedback path and the input of the first quantizer and a fourth non-zero transfer between the second feedback path and the input of the second quantizer.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a filter for compensating discrete secondary pulse formed in association with a data stream of discrete main pulses produced from a data read from magnetic media. SOLUTION: The filter's impulse response comprises a center coefficient with a side compensating coefficient for attenuating the secondary pulses when an input signal is convolved with the impulse response. The magnitude and delay of the compensation coefficients are programmable and are adaptively adjusted to optimize the impulse response for a given environment. In a traditional FIR embodiment, two delay lines are used to generate the two programmable delays between the center coefficient and side compensation coefficients. In the preferred embodiment, an IIR filter (378, 373, 375, 377, 390, 396, 451, 453, 455, 459) provides the two programmable delays using only one delay line (390). COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sync mark detection method that uses information from a preamble and a sign of sampled data in order to further increase the fault tolerance of the sync mark detector. SOLUTION: Digital data comprise a preamble field, a sync mark following thereto and a data field following thereto. A timing recovery (28) in a read channel synchronizes to a phase and frequency of the preamble field, and the sync detector (A120) detects the sync mark in order to frame operation of RLL decoders (36, A122) for decoding the detected data field. To decrease the probability of early misdetection, the sync mark is chosen to have minimum correlation with shifted versions of the sync mark concatenated with the preamble field. To further increase the fault tolerance, the sync mark detector is enabled by timing recovery relative to an end of the preamble field. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and system for operating two or more integrator amplifiers with different power supplies for a modulator of an analog-to-digital ("A/D") converter. SOLUTION: A first upstream integrator (INT1) is operated with one power supply, and the other downstream integrator(s) is/are operated with at least another power supply (INT2). The modulator has amplifiers with coefficient gains having values that are determined and set so that voltage levels for the at least another integrator are maintained within operating and output limits. An integrating coefficient gain (k1) for the first integrator is set to have a sufficiently large value so that an integrating capacitor can be made small for the one integrator. Another integrating coefficient gain (k2) for a second integrator is set to have a sufficiently small value so that an output voltage form the first integrator is sufficiently attenuated to a voltage value within an operating range of the second integrator.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a circuit whereby a noise shaper is immune to an input overload. SOLUTION: The noise shaper includes a first feedback loop for noise shaping a first feedback signal under normal operating conditions and having a first filter (201) with a first signal transfer function and a second feedback loop that is stable under overload conditions and has a second filter (202) having a second signal transfer function differing from the first signal transfer function. The noise shaper also includes an output circuit block including a quantizer (203) and steering circuitry (204). The quantizer (203) includes an input simultaneously responsive to outputs of the first (201) and second filters (202). The steering circuitry (204) steers a feedback signal from an output of the quantizer (203) to input of the first and second feedback loops. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical disk drive servo control system having not so high sensitivity to a parameter change, capable of controlling transition better and reducing the performance cost of a complex adaptive linear controller. SOLUTION: The optical disk memory system is provided with a sliding mode controller 23 actuating an optical read head assembly on an optical disk during focus capture, focus tracking, track seek and center line tracking. This sliding mode controller operates while switching positive and negative feedback to follow a prescribed phase state locus by fitting a prescribed phase state (e.g. position error and speed of a read head).
