Abstract
In a disk drive where data bits containing a bit sequence signifying a specified location of a data block are read from a disk. A reference bit sequence identical to the recovered bit sequence is generated. Each of the recovered bit sequence and the reference bit sequence is divided into M groups of K bits. The M groups of the recovered bit sequence and the corresponding M groups of the reference bit sequence are compared with each other and a coincidence signal is produced for each of M pairs of compared groups when there is a bit-by-bit match therebetween. A match detector determines if the coincidence signal is generated from all pairs of the compared groups or from N out of M pairs of the compared groups.
