Abstract

An embodiment of a read channel includes a filter, an interpolator, a recovery circuit, an error detector, a reverse interpolator, and a filter calibrator. The filter is operable to receive a raw sample of a signal and a coefficient-correction value, generate a filtered sample from the raw sample and a pre-established coefficient, and change the coefficient in response to the coefficient-correction value. The interpolator is operable to interpolate the filtered sample, and the recovery circuit is operable to generate a data symbol from the interpolated sample. The error detector is operable to generate an ideal sample from the data symbol and to generate a difference between the ideal sample and the interpolated sample, and the reverse interpolator is operable to reverse interpolate the difference. The filter calibrator is operable to receive the raw sample and to generate the coefficient-correction value from the raw sample and the reverse-interpolated difference.
