Abstract :
Fully adaptive continuous-time infinite impulse response (IIR) equalizer topologies for use in magnetic recording read channels are presented. This fully continuous-time equalization solution consolidates the anti-aliasing filter and the FIR equalizer into a single filter, which allows potential power savings. Two versions of continuous-time IIR equalizer topologies presented here are (a) a 7-pole 2-zero adaptive IIR equalizer and (b) a 4-pole 2-zero adaptive IIR equalizer following a 4th order LPF with Q boost. This study shows that both equalizers outperform the conventional 5-tap FIR equalizer following a 7-pole 2-zero equiripple anti-aliasing filter in EPR4 channels
