ABSTRACT:
A method for data window centering a multifrequency data separator (12) based on having the frequency of a voltage-controlled oscillator (20) at least twice that of read data window frequency, and setting delay of a delay line (14) used in the data separating process so that arriving raw data pulses will be more accurately assigned to their corresponding windows. The method is realized by providing the multifrequency data separator with a phase comparator emulator (30) and a counter (28). According to another embodiment, the apparatus comprises a counter (28b) combined with a delay setting logic unit (40). The method and apparatus described above result in window centering which does not essentially depend on timing characteristics of circuitry used in the construction of the data separator.
