ABSTRACT:
Logic for detecting the reliability of an address in Pennington code (PCODE). The address is parsed into two separate halves. The first half corresponds to the front portion of the PCODE address and the second half corresponds to the back portion of the same. The two halves are compared to determine the reliability of the address. If the address is not reliable, a head position estimation is used to position the head over the described track. If the address is reliable, the PCODE is combined with a position error signal to position the head.
