A methodology for designing an implementing high rate RLL codes is optimized for application to 10-bit ECC symbols, and provides rate 20/21, rate 50/51, rate 90/91 and other modulation code rates for use in magnetic recording channels. A relatively small subcode encoding-one easy to implement-is applied to a portion of the input stream, and the resulting base codeword is partitioned into nibbles that, in turn, are interleaved among the unencoded ECC symbols. Code constraints on the subcode word nibbles depend upon the values of adjacent unencoded symbols. The resulting codes provide excellent density and error propagation performance.
