Abstract

See full text

In one embodiment, a system for processing data includes a processor and logic integrated with and/or executable by the processor. The logic is configured to detect and track positive peak amplitudes and negative peak amplitudes of a readback waveform during data reading using a tracking threshold module, and to detect and track positive peak amplitudes and negative peak amplitudes of the readback waveform during the data reading at an input to an equalizer using a second tracking threshold module in response to reading a data set separator (DSS). Moreover, the logic is configured to perform asymmetry compensation on the data using an asymmetry compensator in an asymmetry compensation loop based on input from the tracking threshold module when not reading a DSS and based on input from the second tracking threshold module when reading a DSS, an output of the asymmetry compensator being provided to the equalizer.
