ABSTRACT:
A digital filter for a phase-locked loop operates to compare the bit values of the data represented by the incoming pulse stream with patterns in that pulse stream known to produce bit shifting (either early or late). The bit shift caused by physical interaction of bits encoded on computer diskettes or the like always is predictable, in accordance with the pattern of previous bits, the current bit and the next bit. This information is processed by a logic circuit to predict which pulses in the incoming stream of data pulses are shifted. A signal is produced each time a predicted shifted pulse is determined; and this signal is utilized in conjunction with the output of the phase difference counter in the digital phase-locked loop to permit the phase of the controlled oscillator to be adjusted at each unshifted bit in a normal manner, and compensated for adjustment in a modified manner as a result of the prediction of the shifted pulses.
