A device for write precompensation of data signals to be recorded on a magnetic medium, has an input for receiving input data signals and an output for supplying the output signals to be recorded, at least a plurality of the signal transitions in these output data signals being delayed with respect to the corresponding signal transitions in the input data signal, the signal path between the input and the output including a series arrangement of a filter circuit and a hysteresis circuit, the hysteresis circuit receiving the output signal of the filter circuit and supplying a binary signal as its output signal. This write precompensation device simply enables allowance to be made for the influence of a large number of preceding symbol values on a transition to be recorded. When the device is combined with a known write compensation device it suffices to use a simple filter.
A device for write precompensation of data signals to be recorded on a magnetic medium, said device having an input for receiving input data signals and an output for supplying output data signals to be recorded, at least a plurality of signal transitions in output data signals being delayed upon recording with respect to corresponding signal transitions in the input data signal, characterized in that in order to compensate for said delay, said device comprises, in the signal path between the input and the output, a series arrangement of a filter circuit and a hysteresis circuit, said hysteresis circuit receiving an output signal of the filter circuit and supplying a binary signal as an output signal.
