Abstract
A method and a device for write precompensating a data pattern for recording the pattern on a magnetic storage medium at high data rates. A first predetermined write-precompensation delay is applied to the second transition of a burst of transitions of the data pattern. A second predetermined write-precompensation delay is applied to the last transition of a burst. A third predetermined write-precompensation delay is applied to the middle transitions, if any, of a burst. When the burst is a dibit, the application of the second and third predetermined write-precompensation delays is omitted and the first predetermined write-precompensation delay is based on the burst being a dibit. When the burst is a tribit, the application of the second predetermined write-precompensation delay is omitted and the first and third predetermined write-precompensation delays are based on the burst being a tribit. A fourth predetermined write-precompensation delay is applied to the transitions in the data pattern that are not part of a burst of transitions.
