Abstract

A system and method for acquisition signal error estimation is provided which uses one or more past values of the sequence to determine the nearest ideal sample value. According to one embodiment, four consecutive samples are used. According to another embodiment, two samples are used. The acquisition signal error estimator maybe used in conjunction with gain, DC offset, or magneto-resistive asymmetry control loops in a sampled amplitude read channel.
