A thermal-assisted magnetic recording (TAMR) system is described which generates laser-pulse signals from the write data line. Additionally, training signals for initial synchronization are fed to the preamp IC using the write data line during servo read cycle. This requires no increase in the number of wires going to read-write driver chip (R/W IC) (preamp). In embodiments of the invention the R/W IC also includes registers that are set using serial data from the system electronics to influence the characteristics of the drive signal to the laser.
