Method and circuit for decoding a sample of a signal read from a storage medium to obtain a physical address of data on the storage medium
A circuit includes a converter that samples a signal read from a storage medium to generate a sample. The signal includes a physical address of data read from a track on the storage medium. A timing control device generates a clock signal based on a deviation of the track from a reference line. A scaling device generates a scale factor based on the clock signal. A multiplier multiplies the sample by the scale factor to generate a scaled sample. An integrator integrates the scaled sample over a period of the clock signal to generate a resultant value. A comparator compares the resultant value to a threshold to generate an output. The output indicates whether no phase imperfection exists in the scaled sample. A decoder, based on the output of the comparator, decodes the resultant value to obtain the physical address of the data.
