Abstract

A data storage device is disclosed comprising a non-volatile memory (NVM). During a read operation, a sequence of signal samples is generated representing codewords stored in the NVM. The signal samples are buffered to generate buffered signal samples. The buffered signal samples are processed at a first frequency to detect a data sequence, and a bottleneck condition is detected associated with processing the buffered signal samples at the first frequency. When the bottleneck condition is detected, the buffered signal samples are processed at a second frequency higher than the first frequency to detect the data sequence.
