Abstract
A data storage apparatus and method that allows the signal processing circuit to be in integrated form, so that the magnetic storage system may be reduced in size with increased performance is described. The apparatus includes a reproducing head that reproduces information stored on a recording medium, a preamplifier that amplifies the output of the reproducing head, and a low-pass filter. An A/D converter converts the output for the low-pass filter to a digital signal and has a reference voltage. A discriminator is coupled to an output of the A/D converter and discriminates the digital signal. A circuit, coupled to the discriminator, provides negative feedback control of the reference voltage of the A/D converter as a function of the digital signal before the discrimination by the discriminator and the digital signal that has been discriminated by the discriminator.
