Abstract
A method for generating constraint codes in a stream of data having a plurality of multi-bit source words, comprising the steps of (A) checking a sequence portion of the multi-bit source words for one or more constraint violations and (B) if no constraint violations are detected, modifying a predetermined portion of each of the multi-bit source words to generate a plurality of corresponding multi-bit code words configured to prevent the constraint violations of the sequence portions across an adjacent two of the multi-bit code words.
