    摘要: An amplifier circuit produces an electrical output signal whose magnitude is representative of a signal produced by a magnetoresistive (MR) element (Rmr) and also protects the MR element (Rmr) from electrical short circuits between the element (Rmr) and on adjacent conductive surface. A first feedback loop biases the MR element (Rmr) with a bias current and amplifies a signal current for causing the MR element (Rmr) to produce a circuit output signal corresponding to dRh/Rh and in which any dc offset error is minimized R h is the resistance of the MR element and dRh is the magnetic-signal-induced change in the resistance of the MR element. A second feedback loop insures that the MR element (Rmr) is held at a preselected reference potential and that no current will flow sufficiently to damage the element in the event of a short circuit between the element and the surface. The feedback loops are interconnected by outputs of the respective feedback loops being commonly connected to the bases of a pair of input bipolar transistors (Q1,Q2), whose respective emitters are connected to opposite terminals of the MR element (Rmr).

    摘要: A frequency response compensation circuit includes a first forward gain stage (J1, T1, T1ʹ, R1, R1ʹ, R3, R3ʹ) and a second reverse gain stage (J2, T2, T2ʹ, RE, REʹ, R2, R2ʹ) coupled to the first stage in negative feedback mode. The reverse gain stage depresses the gain of the first stage at low frequencies. When the frequency response of the reverse gain stage begins degrading, which corresponds to the frequency of the real zero of the compensation circuit, the gain of the compensation circuit begins increasing and increases until the gain of the reverse stage is zero. The circuit consists of only transistors and resistors and so can be formed as an integrated circuit. By proper selection of the resistors in the circuit, the zero of the compensation circuit can be chosen to correspond to the frequency of the pole of the uncompensated input, so as to increase the bandwidth. Multiple reverse gain stages can be included, with a selected reverse gain stage switched into connection with the first stage, so as to provide a constant frequency response for different frequency response inputs.

    摘要: Low noise, low power, low voltage amplifier circuits with a single ended input having no common mode rejection for concurrently biasing and amplifying signals generated by magnetoresistive (MR) elements in a disk file. The amplifier circuits comprise a single (grounded) supply voltage source. One terminal of each MR element and the conductive substrate of each MR element and the conductive substrate of each disk in the disk file are grounded to minimize transient conductive asperity currents. The head/disk assembly of the disk file is completely enclosed by a highly conductive electrostatically shielded metallic enclosure that.. operates as a Faraday cage and isolates leads connecting the MR elements with the amplifier circuit from large, fast rise/fall time voltage transients.
