Abstract

See full text

An algorithm and the hardware embodiment for producing a run length limited code useful in magnetic recording channels are described. The system described produces sequences which have a minimum of 2 zeros and a maximum of 7 zeros between adjacent 1's. The code is generated by a sequential scheme that maps 1 bit of unconstrained into 2 bits of constrained data. The encoder is a finite state machine whose internal state description requires 3 bits. It possesses the attractive feature of reset data blocks which reset it to a fixed state. The decoder requires a lookahead of three future channel symbols (6 bits) and its operation is channel state independent. The error propagation due to a random error is 3 bits. The hardware implementation is extremely simple and can operate at very high data speeds.
