Abstract
A data encoder wherein the outputs of a synchronization data generating means 51, a cluster counter 52, a sector counter 53, a recording data output means 56 and a dummy data generating means 55 are selected by a selector 57 to provide an output. A selector control means 59 is constituted to control the selector 57 to output a data group (cluster) which is one recording unit formed of the predetermined number of sectors in the predetermined format by controlling the selector 57 in a predetermined timing depending on a Link signal based on the sector counter 53 and a count value of the byte counter 60. The processing load shared on a microcomputer, which is controlling the recording operation, can thus be alleviated remarkably.
