Abstract

A disc drive using a read / write channel (5) comprising an iterative decoder (55) for performing an iterative decoding process is disclosed. The iterative decoder (55) has a RLL error detector (552) for detecting burst error parts from the LLR set output from the channel decoder (550) and LLR adjuster (551). The LLR adjuster (551) adjusts by reducing the value of the set of LLRs corresponding to the detected error portion of the burst.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to the field of disc drives, and more particularly to a device for data reproduction applying an iterative decoding method. Background technique [0002] Generally, in the field of disk drives typified by hard disk drives, a signal processing circuit called a read channel that processes data signals read by a magnetic head from a disk medium (hereinafter simply referred to as disk) to reproduce original data is used. [0003] Usually, a signal processing circuit is constituted by a specially designed LSI. The signal processing circuit includes a write channel for processing write data to record the data on the disc. Signal processing circuits are also called read / write channels or data channels. [0004] Current read / write channels use a data decoding mode (data reproduction method) that is a combination of a partial response mode and a Viterbi decoding method, the so-called partial response maximum likelihood ...
