Abstract
A method of write equalization in digital data recording systems comprising the steps of: providing a digital data signal to be recorded on recordable media, wherein the digital data signal includes 1s and 0s spaced at time interval T with 1s represented by a signal transition between first and second signal levels and 0s represented by no signal transition, and in which there is a minimum of d+1 intervals T between transitions; providing write equalization pulses of width WT for each 0 starting with the (d+1)th 0 following a 1; and causing a transition of a write equalization pulse adjacent to a 1 to occupy the same position as the transition of the 1 so that there is no transition for the 1. In one embodiment, the initial transition of the first added 0 pulse following a 1 is advanced in time so that it occupies the same position as the transition for the 1. In a second embodiment, the second transition of the last added 0 pulse preceding a 1 is delayed in time so that it occupies the same transition as the transition for the 1.
