Abstract

A multi-mode timing loop for a PR4,ML sampled data channel includes an analog to digital converter and a digital finite impulse response filter for providing conditioned digital samples. The timing loop includes a reference clock source for putting out a reference clock frequency related to a nominal sample data rate, a frequency controllable oscillator connected to generate a sample clock, an analog timing loop and a digital timing loop. The analog timing loop provides phase lock during non-data read mode, and during data read mode the digital timing loop provides a vernier offset for fine adjustment of phase lock to a static setting then provided by the analog timing loop.
