Generalised rate N/(N+1) codes

A generalised construction of rate M(N+1) run-length limited codes is presented. The (d, k, l, r) constraints are (0, N/4+1, N/8: N/8). Encoding and decoding based on the use of multiple pivot bits are described. The encoding and decoding are systematic enough to allow the writing of software to generate efficient logic equations for different N. The logic equations can be further minimised using an automatic synthesis tool
