Abstract
A circuit manages the conversion of data between a logical sector format and a physical sector format. In a padding mode, the circuit appends a padding value to a data stream in the logical sector format having a logical length to produce a data stream in a physical sector format having a physical length. In an extracting mode, the circuit extracts a data stream in the logical sector format from a data stream in the physical sector format.
