Abstract

See full text

An integrated circuit adapted for use in a data path of a disk storage system of a type wherein data is recorded at different rates depending upon the storage track of the data and includes servo bursts of head positioning signals disbursed throughout the data on all of the tracks. The circuit includes a variable cut off low pass filter that is adjusted both for the rate of data being read and for the rate of the servo bursts when being read. An automatic gain control and a pulse detector are similarly dynamically adjusted in characteristics to fit that of the data and servo bursts when each is being read from the disk. An output of the filter provides both read data and head positioning signals. A write data path is also provided as part of the circuit.
