Abstract
IC front-end architectures for a CMOS partial-response maximum likelihood magnetic read channel are re-examined. By organizing the front-end system components properly, several properties may be optimized; clock-recovery acquisition time can be minimized, sensitivity to ADC quantization noise may be reduced, and overall power and complexity may be minimized. Channel simulation reveals that efficient equalization may be carried out with an adaptive, continuous-time equalizer with only 4-poles, which increases drive packing densities over conventionally equalized channels. 1-/spl mu/m CMOS circuits necessary for realization of the desired 200 MHz front-end are designed, partially realized, and tested.Keywords
