Abstract

Hardware-based methods and apparatus are provided for inter-track interference mitigation in magnetic recording systems. Inter-track interference (ITI) is mitigated in a magnetic recording system by obtaining ITI cancellation data; and providing the ITI cancellation data to an ITI mitigation circuit using a write data path in the magnetic recording system. The write data path can optionally operate substantially simultaneously with the read data path performing the read operation. The ITI cancellation data comprises, for example, user data and/or media data.
