Abstract

An apparatus for providing data dependent detection in a data read channel is disclosed. Parameters in a read channel are dynamically adjusted according to data dependent noise. For example, a comparison in an add-compare-select (ACS) unit of a Viterbi decoder may be adjusted or offset terms in error event filters may be biased to choose a Viterbi sequence with more transitions or to compensate for polarity dependent noise.
