This excerpt taken from the MRVL 10-K filed Jul 2, 2007. Read
Channel. A
read channel is an integrated circuit that provides the interface between the
analog signals stored on magnetic disk drives and the digital signals that
computers can understand and manipulate. The performance of the read channel
normally drives the performance of the overall storage system. We utilize
advanced mixed-signal and digital signal processing technologies in our array
of partial response maximum likelihood, or PRML read channel products. Our
technology incorporates an efficient data-encoding scheme in addition to
advanced digital filtering and data-detection techniques. Our read channel
products are designed to allow customers to achieve high areal density in
addition to fast data transfer rates for their hard disk drives. Our read
channels utilize custom digital and analog blocks running at a very high
frequency while achieving low power consumption.
Our read channel integrated circuits target specific feature and performance requirements of the enterprise, desktop and mobile computing markets. Our strategy is to consolidate the signal processing algorithms required by each of our different market segments into a single integrated circuit design. This consolidation can result in cost savings and reduced product line complexity. This excerpt taken from the MRVL 10-K filed Apr 13, 2006. Read Channel. A read channel is an integrated
