Method for synchronizing the write current for magnetic recording with the bit islands on discrete bit patterned media
A patterned recording media is comprised of a combination of raised features and depressed features in or on the surface of the recording disk. A depressed feature is known as a pit, while a raised feature is known as an island. The islands form areas where one or more data bits can be written. The...

Summary: | A patterned recording media is comprised of a combination of raised features and depressed features in or on the surface of the recording disk. A depressed feature is known as a pit, while a raised feature is known as an island. The islands form areas where one or more data bits can be written. The recording head is synchronized to the discrete bit pattern by determining the correct clock cycle (phase) and clock count within the clock cycle. |
