Claims
- 1. In a data storage system having a Write Data signal comprising consecutive binary transitions, with an ideal time interval between two consecutive binary transitions, the ideal time interval having been modified to a precompensated time interval, a method for converting the precompensated time interval back to the ideal time interval, the method comprising the following steps:
- a. timing the precompensated time interval to generate a numerical time;
- b. comparing the numerical time to a plurality of numerical time ranges, each numerical time range having a corresponding compensation calculation;
- c. selecting one particular numerical time range, in the plurality of numerical time ranges, that includes the numerical time;
- d. performing the compensation calculation corresponding to the particular numerical time range to generate a compensated numerical time;
- e. waiting an amount of time corresponding to the compensated numerical time; and
- f. generating a binary waveform transition.
- 2. In a data storage system having a Write Data signal that has been precompensated from an ideal write signal, a method for converting the precompensated Write Data signal back into the ideal write signal, the method comprising the following steps:
- a. detecting precompensation in the Write Data signal;
- b. measuring the amount of the precompensation;
- e. removing the measured amount of precompensation from the Write Data signal; and
- d. generating a new write signal without the measured amount of precompensation, the new write signal thereby being equivalent to the ideal write signal.
