A channel circuit that receives an analog disk readback signal of a data storage disk drive includes a comparator string and a data channel binary decoder that together comprise what is commonly referred to as a flash analog-to-digital (A/D) converter, which processes the data channel information of the readback signal. The servo information of the readback signal is provided to the comparator string of the data channel flash A/D converter, whose output then is provided to a servo burst binary decoder for decoding to produce the desired servo burst data. Thus, the servo information is digitized and decoded at the relatively high speed possible with a flash A/D converter, without requiring a comparator string in addition to what would otherwise be provided for the data channel application.
