Abstract

A method, circuit and system for selectively and adaptively effecting conditioning of selected samples of a read signal in storage technologies. A circuit embodying the present invention includes sample logic, arithmetic logic and conditioning logic. The sample logic receives samples and provides a main sample and one or more selected neighbor samples. The arithmetic logic compares the main sample to the neighbor samples toward determining satisfaction of selected conditioning criteria. If the selected conditioning criteria are satisfied, the conditioning logic selectively and adaptively effects level conditioning as to the main sample. Further, the level conditioning is combined with a rule compliance system to insure the read data is following the protocol of the data coding format being used. A method embodying the present invention comprises obtaining level conditioning parameters in association with a reference field of the read signal; sampling the read signal at channel bit locations to provide a plurality of samples; selecting a main sample from the plurality of samples; selecting one or more neighbor samples from the plurality of samples, the neighbor samples being dispose…
