ABSTRACT:
An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for controlling gain in a magnetic media read channel. In one embodiment, a sampling module provides an asynchronous digital stream corresponding to encoded signals on a streaming magnetic medium, a stream synchronization module converts the asynchronous digital stream to a synchronous digital stream, and a gain control module processes the asynchronous digital stream and provides a gain control signal concurrent to synchronization of the asynchronous digital stream. The described apparatus, method, and system enables calibration of a read channel using a calibration signal (such as a VFO waveform) of shorter duration than attainable with currently available calibration means and methods.
