An apparatus and method for writing data to a magnetizable recording medium (148) in the form of spaced-apart magnetic flux transitions forming magnetization vectors having alternating magnetic orientations and selected lengths. A write element (140) adjacent the medium includes a leading edge (164) and a trailing edge (166) forming a write gap (158) which, when write element is activated by an electric current, provides a write field (160) for selectively magnetizing the magnetizable medium. A write driver circuit (134) is responsive to a data input stream in providing a write current activating the write element, the write current comprising a pulse current (Ip) in a phased relationship with a continuous current (Ic).
