Abstract
A magnetic recording device includes a preprocessor, an interpolator and a slicer. The preprocessor receives at least n saturated input signals including an nsaturated input signal The preprocessor is configured to process each of the n saturated input signals to produce a corresponding noutput signal. The n output signals include an nm output signal from the nsaturated input signal. The interpolator processes the noutput signal to determine an ninterpolator output. The slicer determines an nslicer output for the noutput signal. The nslicer output is at one of three different levels. The preprocessor can receive and process an n +saturated input signal to produce an n +output signal that is based on a difference between the ninterpolator output and the level of the nslicer output.
