By implementing an FPGA-based simulator, this paper investigates the semi-random construction of high-rate regular QC-LDPC codes with low error floor for the magnetic recording channel. Then a new QC-LDPC decoder hardware architecture is proposed. Finally, a read channel signal processing datapath consisting of a parallel Max-Log-MAP detector and the proposed QC-LDPC decoder is implemented in 0.13...
