Claim 0:
1. An apparatus comprising: a continuous-time front end (CTFE) configured to: receive an analog signal; perform first magnetoresistive asymmetry (MRA) compensation on the analog signal to adjust a dynamic range of the analog signal based on an input range of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC); the ADC, configured to convert the analog signal to a digital sample sequence; and a digital MRA compensation circuit configured to perform second MRA compensation to correct residual MRA in the digital sample sequence; a magnetic disc storage medium; a read element configured to: detect a magnetic field from the magnetic disc storage medium; generate the analog signal based on the magnetic field; provide the analog signal to the CTFE; and a read/write channel including the CTFE, the ADC, and the digital MRA compensation circuit.
