An apparatus for encoding a digital signal includes switching means for alternately outputting the digital signal from first and second output terminals at every bit, a first converting means for converting the digital signal output from the first output terminal to a signal which will be DC free after NRZI conversion is carried out, a second converting means for converting the digital signal output from the second output terminal to a signal which will be DC free, and an encoding means supplied with outputs from the first and second converting means, alternately combining outputs of the first and second converting means at every bit and obtaining a substantially I-NRZI converted digital signal.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In view of the aforesaid aspect, it is an object of the present invention to provide a data recording apparatus in which an encoded signal can be decoded with ease.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a data recording apparatus in which an encoded signal can be recorded on a magnetic medium satisfactorily.
According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for encoding a digital signal which is comprised of a switching means for alternately outputting the digital signal from first and second output terminals at every bit, a first converting means for converting the digital signal output from the first output terminal to a signal which will be DC free after NRZI conversion is carried out, a second converting means for converting the digital signal output from the second output terminal to a signal which will be DC free after NRZI conversion is carried out, and an encoding means supplied with outputs from the first and second converting means, alternately combining outputs of the first and second converting means at every bit and obtaining a substantially I-NRZI converted digital signal.
According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for decoding a digital signal which is comprised of a detecting means for detecting in a partial response class 4 a substantially I-NRZI converted digital signal, the I-NRZI converted digital signal being produced by alternately outputting digital signals from first and second output terminals of a switching means at every bit, converting the digital signals output from the first and second output terminals into signals which will be DC free after NRZI conversion is carried out, and combining the converted digital signals alternately at every bit, a switching means for alternately outputting an output of the detecting means from third and fourth output terminals, a third converting means for converting the digital signal output from the third output terminal in a manner opposite to that of the first converting means, a fourth converting means for converting the digital signal output from the fourth Output terminal in a manner opposite to that of the second converting means, and a combining means supplied with outputs of the third and fourth converting means and alternately combining the outputs of the third and fourth converting means at every bit
