Abstract:
A synchronizing signal detector for a magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus, comprising:a synchronizing signal pattern generating part which generates a given synchronizing signal pattern;a window signal generating part generating a window signal to detect a synchronizing signal of an input data;a comparison part comparing the given synchronizing signal pattern with the input data in successive bit units according to the window signal, said comparison part outputting a number of corresponding bits between the given synchronizing signal pattern and the input data for each bit unit and outputting a bit unit number of the bit unit;a detection part detecting a maximum value of the number of corresponding bits and detecting the bit unit number of the bit unit with the maximum value; anda signal processor outputting a synchronizing signal of the input data in response to the bit unit number of the bit unit with the maximum value.
