More Information
Summary:The invention provides for a method and apparatus for of processing digital data ( 10 ), comprising the steps of forming a plurality of discrete bursts of data ( 12 ) from the digital data, charging a charge storage device ( 32 ) during periods ( 14 ) between the discrete bursts of data, and subsequently discharging the charge storage device ( 32 ) during the discrete bursts of data ( 12 ) so as to provide at least part of the power required during the data bursts ( 12 ) and so as to reduce peak power requirements while allowing for the transfer of data at rates less than a minimum data rate set for data recordal/playback
