Abstract

An improved write precompensation circuit for a read/write channel circuit and system is provided. Multiple data input signals are provided, each being clocked by a different clock. The data input signals are then multiplexed. Two, three or more data clock delays may be utilized to provide two, three or more data delays to achieve the write precompensation. Only one edge of a signal need pass through a multiplexer before the multiplexer may change state. The amount of delay may be user programmable.
