Abstract
A digital modulation circuit which minimizes a DC component of an NRZI modulated code sequence while setting the T.sub.max and T.sub.W not to be varied. An m-n coding mode is determined for each data block composed of the predetermined number of m-bit datawords. That is, an m-n coding mode which minimizes the absolute value of the DSV is selected and the selected m-n coding mode is utilized for the m-n coding of the current data block. The code indicating the selected m-n coding mode is multiplexed to the m-n coded current block. An m--m mapping table is also determined for each data block. That is, such an m--m mapping table that minimizes the absolute value of the DSV is selected and the selected m--m mapping table is utilized for the m--m translation of the current data block. Then, the m--m mapped data block is m-n translated into a code block composed of the same number of n-bit codewords by utilizing the single m-n translation table.
