Dynamic gain control for use with adaptive equalizers

摘要

According to one embodiment, a system for processing data includes a controller configured to: receive data read from a magnetic storage medium, apply a finite impulse response (FIR) filter to the data to obtain equalized data, and direct the equalized data through either a first FIR gain module or a second FIR gain module to control FIR gain of the equalized data, wherein the first FIR gain module is utilized when reading data in an asynchronous mode, and wherein the second FIR gain module is utilized when reading data in a synchronous mode and a FIR gain value of the second FIR gain module is automatically controlled. Other systems and methods for processing data using dynamic gain control with adaptive equalizers are presented according to more embodiments.
