    摘要: A current controller includes impedance elements coupled to form at least one impedance ladder circuit which exhibits a fixed impedance at an input and current divider steps each differing in a current magnitude by a multiple of three with respect to the current magnitude in an adjacent less significant step. Single pole triple throw (SPTT) switchably couple an associated step in the impedance ladder circuit to one of three outputs. Three discrete current sources or sinks are each coupled to a corresponding one of the outputs of each of the SPTT switches. The digital driver is coupled to each control input of each SPTT switch to additively deliver selected ones of the stepped currents from each step of the impedance ladder circuit to a corresponding selected one of the current sources or sinks.

    摘要: A circuit includes a differential amplifier that generates a differential offset signal on its output terminals. The circuit also includes an offset compensator that has input terminals respectively coupled to the amplifier output terminals and a compensation terminal coupled to the differential amplifier. The compensator maintains the differential offset signal at a predetermined value, for example 0 V. When used in an integrated read-head preamplifier, such a circuit compensates for the nonzero head bias voltage, i.e., the preamplifier input offset voltage, without using a component that is external to the integrated preamplifier circuit.

    摘要: A circuit and method to drive an H-bridge circuit is disclosed. The H-bridge circuit uses NMOS transistors for both the upper and lower sets of transistors. An inductive head is coupled between the terminals of the transistors. When a logic signal is received, it is boosted with a circuit including a capacitor and is used to drive one of the upper transistors. The upper transistor selected to be driven is responsive to the logic signal. A corresponding lower transistor is also driven, forcing current through the inductive head in a first direction. When the logic signal is received that is the complement of the first logic signal, the other upper and lower transistors turn on, thereby driving current through the inductive head in the other direction. Since all of the transistors in the H-bridge circuit are NMOS transistors, boosted driving circuits are used to quickly change the direction of the flux through the inductive head.

    摘要: A method and apparatus, for applying a current to a coil of a write head assembly of a disk drive, or the like, to cause the flux within the coil to rapidly reverse, has an H-bridge having two pair of two switchable transistors. Each pair of the transistors is connected between a supply voltage and a reference potential, and is adapted to be connected to the coil between the two transistors of each pair. The two transistors of the first pair may be connected to receive a control signal to turn on complementary transistors of the first and second pair of transistors to selectively control current flow in the coil in first or second directions. A reference current source supplies a reference current, and one of the transistors in each of the first and second pairs of transistors is connected when turned on to mirror the reference current to control the currents in the coil. First and second parallel transistors are connected in parallel respectively with the mirror transistors, the first and second parallel transistors being connected to be turned on respectively by the control signal and the inverted control signal concurrently with the respective mirror transistor. A pair of timing elements turn off respective ones of the parallel transistors after a predetermined time so that when the parallel transistors are turned on, the current in the coil overshoots a value established by the mirror transistors.

    摘要: A method and circuit are disclosed for controlling the write head of a magnetic disk storage device. The circuit includes a pull-up device coupled to a terminal of the write head, a current sink circuit which is coupled to the write head terminal and a bootstrap circuit coupled to the current sink circuit. When reversing the direction of current flow through the write head so that current is drawn from the write head from the write head terminal, the bootstrap circuit and the current sink circuit are activated. When the current in the write head nears and/or slightly surpasses the desired destination current level, the bootstrap circuit is deactivated and the pull-up device is thereafter immediately activated for a predetermined period of time.
