Abstract
A data recording and reproducing device with a small circuit size is provided that utilizes an iterative decoding technique to realize high-speed data reproduction from a recording medium on which data is recorded at a high density. This data recording and reproducing device records a data block having input data encoded with convolutional codes on a recording medium, reproduces the data block through a partial response channel, and decodes the data block from the reproduced signal, utilizing an iterative decoding technique by which the data block is decoded through iterative decoding using likelihood information. This data recording and reproducing device includes a dividing unit that divides the data block encoded with the convolutional codes into data sub blocks; and a recording unit that records the data sub blocks at non-adjacent locations on the recording medium.
