Abstract
A data-reproducing device is provided that, even when pre-equalization characteristics are varied, conducts an equalization detection operation. The device comprises a subtraction absolute value circuit for calculating a subtraction absolute value, a comparison and selection circuit that outputs a selection signal to show which path is selected, a circuit that stores an estimate of the pre-equalized data, an address generating circuit that provides estimate data needed by the subtraction absolute value circuit as determined by the selection signal, a path memory circuit for storing the selection signal output and outputting the most probable data, and a correction control circuit for renewing the estimate data of the estimate data storing circuit.
