    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for synchronous writing of a grain patterned medium. The systems and methods can be implemented within a data storage device having a grain patterned medium. Further, a calibration process to determine a count of bits between servo wedges can be implemented in manufacturing, within the data storage device, or both. In some examples, the data storage device, during operation, can utilize the count of bits to perform synchronous writing, determine write errors, or both. Further, the servo wedge of the grain patterned medium may be patterned with a same or similar grain pattern as the data area that follows the servo wedge. Such a data storage device can implement a single clock for reading a servo wedge and writing a data area.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for magnetoresistive asymmetry compensation using a hybrid analog and digital compensation scheme. In certain embodiments, a method may comprise receiving an analog signal at a continuous-time front end (CTFE) circuit, and performing, via the CTFE circuit, first magnetoresistive asymmetry (MRA) compensation on the analog signal to adjust the dynamic range of the analog signal based on an input range of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The method may further comprise converting the analog signal to a digital sample sequence via the ADC, and performing, via a digital MRA compensation circuit, second MRA compensation to correct residual MRA in the digital sample sequence. Offset compensation may also be performed in both the analog and digital domains.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for magnetoresistive asymmetry (MRA) compensation using a digital compensation scheme. In certain embodiments, a method may comprise receiving an analog signal at a continuous-time front end (CTFE) circuit, and performing analog offset compensation to constrain an extremum of the analog signal to adjust a dynamic range based on an input range of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), rather than to modify the analog signal to have a zero mean. The method may further comprise converting the analog signal to a digital sample sequence via the ADC; performing, via a digital MRA compensation circuit, digital MRA compensation on the digital sample sequence; receiving, via a digital backend (DBE) subsystem, the digital sample sequence prior to digital MRA compensation; and generating, via a DBE, a bit sequence corresponding to the analog signal based on an output of the DBE subsystem and an output of the digital MRA compensation circuit.

    Abstract: An error recovery process provides for identifying a set of failed data blocks read from a storage medium during execution of a read command, populating sample buffers in a read channel with data of a first subset of the set of failed data blocks, and initiating an error recovery process on the data in the sample buffers. Responsive to successful recovery of one or more data blocks in the first subset, recovered data is released from the sample buffers and sample buffers locations previously-storing the recovered data are repopulated with data of a second subset of the set of failed data blocks. The error recovery process is then initiated on the data of the second subset of the failed data blocks while the error recovery process is ongoing with respect to data of the first subset of failed data blocks remaining in the sample buffers.

    Abstract: An apparatus may comprise a circuit configured to receive first underlying data corresponding to a first signal with a first rate and receive a second signal with a second rate corresponding to second underlying data. The circuit may interpolate the first underlying data to generate a plurality of interpolated signals, determine, for the first signal, a first channel pulse response shape with the first rate, and determine an interference component signal based on the plurality of interpolated signals and the first channel pulse response shape. The circuit may then cancel interference in the second signal using the interference component signal to generate a cleaned signal.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for applying multi-stage multiple input single output (MISO) circuits for fast adaptation. An apparatus may comprise a first reader and a second reader configured to simultaneously read from a single track of a data storage medium, a MISO circuit. The MISO circuit may include a first stage filter having a first number of taps and configured to filter signal samples received from the first reader and the second reader and produce first filtered samples. The MISO circuit may also include a second stage filter having a second number of taps greater than the first number, and be configured to receive the first filtered samples corresponding to the first reader and the second reader from the first filter stage, filter the first filtered samples to produce second filtered samples, and combine the second filtered samples to produce a combined sample output.
