Abstract

The present disclosure describes aspects of constant-density writing for magnetic storage media. In some aspects, a constant-density writer delays transitions between bits within write data to enable constant-density writing. The write data has an initial bit period based on a constant clock signal, which is generated based on the rotation of a media disk. The constant-density writer modifies the write data to generate phase-delayed write data, which has a bit period that is greater than or equal to the initial bit period. To realize this bit period, the constant-density writer changes write phases of bit transitions within the write data. The constant-density writer can also insert stretch bits, filter single-bit transitions, and mitigate glitches within the phase-delayed write data.
