ABSTRACT:
In a magnetic disk drive in which an analog signal having symmetrical positive and negative odd levels with respect to a zero-level is read out of a magnetic disk by a head, the read analog signal is processed by an AGC circuit and a low pass filter, the processed analog signal is converted into a digital signal by an A/D converter, and the digital signal is demodulated by a demodulator, a zero-level setting circuit for the A/D converter is comprised of: a reference voltage generator for the A/D converter; a zero-level error detector between the read signal and the reference voltage; an accumulator for accumulating the zero-level error from the zero-level error detector; and an equalizer for equalizing the zero-level of the A/D converter to the reference voltage in accordance to an output signal from the zero-level error accumulator. As a result, the conversion accuracy of the A/D converter is improved while employing a small number of bits.
