Abstract:
Methods and apparatus to perform hard-disk drive head proximity detection in a preamplifier are described. One example method of detecting head position in a hard-disk drive includes obtaining a read signal from a head reading information from a disk; determining a signal envelope of the read signal; comparing the signal envelope to a first threshold to produce a first comparison; filtering the signal envelope; comparing the filtered signal envelope to a second threshold to produce a second comparison; combining the first comparison and the second comparison; and determining if the combination of the first comparison and the second comparison indicates head position oscillation.
