ABSTRACT:
A read channel for use in a disk drive having an MR head. The read channel comprises a compensation device which has a high-pass filter (HPF) for compensating a thermal asperity (TA). The read channel suppresses level changes of a data signal which have resulted from TA disturbance present in the data signal. The read channel has a switch circuit connected to the input of the HPF, for canceling the DC undershoot present in the data signal. The switch circuit maintains the DC level of the data signal at zero level while a thermal asperity is being detected in the data signal.
