摘要:
A switch includes a first switching member and a latch circuit. A first terminal of the first switching member is electrically connected to a power source, while a second terminal thereof is electrically connected to a loading. The latch circuit includes a first transistor and a second transistor which are mutually electrically connected. The first transistor is electrically connected to the first terminal, and the second transistor is electrically connected to the control terminal. By inputting a trigger voltage to the second transistor, the second transistor and the first switching member are conducted, which makes the first transistor become conductive. After the first transistor becoming conductive, the first transistor provides electricity to the second transistor to cause latching effect, and to consequently keep the first switching member conductive.

A write driver 100, 200, 300 is implemented to provide near-ground common mode output voltages to produce a more symmetrical head voltage swing (i.e. null0.4V from ground to null5V supply voltages). These features help to reduce the effects of common mode impedance associated with the interconnection to the disk drive head to improve overall performance. Lower jitter at high data rates can be achieved when compared to prior art techniques for implementing current mode write drivers. Further, the matched impedance between the write driver 100 and the interconnection 106 eliminates unwanted reflections. ECL level voltage swings (200-500 mV) have replaced more conventional CMOS level voltage swings (5V) to further reduce overall power dissipation associated with the write driver. The small ECL level switching further maintains constant power dissipation with changes in operating frequency and results in less NTLS effects due to quieter supplies.

A write driver for an inductive load includes load terminals for connection to an inductive load, and a driver circuit responsive to first and second control signals to supply a drive current through the load in respective first and second directions. A voltage-mode H-bridge connected to the load terminals is operable to selectively supply a voltage across the load terminals and head. Program means operates the voltage-mode H-bridge for a predetermined time period following initiation of the respective first and second control signal to provide a voltage across the load terminals which quickly raises the write current to a steady state condition. Ringing is suppressed by employing an impedance-matched H-bridge for the driver circuit, the impedance-matched H-bridge having an impedance matched to the impedance of a transmission line connecting the load to the terminals.

An apparatus for recording on a magnetic record carrier includes a write amplifier comprising four current mirrors which are turned on two at a time by two switchable floating current sources connected between the input terminals of the current mirrors in order to produce a write current of alternating polarity through a write head. The high impedance at the terminals of the write head enables the common-mode voltage across the write head to be fixed at any desired voltage value by means of a common-mode circuit. The symmetrical structure further enables the parasitic capacitances at the write terminals to be neutralized by means of neutralizing capacitors.

A load driving circuit includes a pair of push-pull circuits formed of bipolar transistors. A load is connected between the output terminals of the push-pull circuits and the polarity of a current flowing in the load can be changed to drive the load. The pair of push-pull circuits are controlled by means of an output transistor driving circuit. The output transistor driving circuit includes first and second driving transistors for driving output transistors constituting the push-pull circuits and first and second control transistors for preventing the flow of a through current. The emitter and collector of the first control transistor are respectively connected to the emitter and base of the first driving transistor or the emitter and base of the output transistor arranged on the power source side and constituting one push-pull circuit. The emitter and collector of the second control transistor are respectively connected to the emitter and base of the second driving transistor or the emitter and base of the output transistor arranged on the power source side and constituting another push-pull circuit. The conduction states of the first and second driving transistors are controlled by signals set in an inverted phase. The conduction state of the first and second control transistors are respectively controlled by signals which is in the same phase as the signal for controlling the second and first driving transistors.

摘要:
A ringing signal generator is disclosed in which a low-level reference ringing signal, generated by a reference waveform generator (101), is amplified by a delta-modulation power amplifier (106, 108). The low-level reference signal is digitally encoded using delta-modulation techniques to generate a high-level digital signal. The high-level digital signal is filtered (421) to remove the high-frequency components therefrom and to decode the digital signal to form the high-level ringing signal that has the same shape and frequency as the reference signal. The delta-modulation power amplifier generates the ringing signal by comparing (401) the reference ringing signal (E.sub.i) with an analog feedback signal (E.sub.f) reconstructed from the high-level digital signal. The resultant binary error signal (E.sub..epsilon.), representing the polarity of the difference between the reference and the feedback signals, is applied to a logic circuit (405) which samples the error signal at a clock rate substantially higher than the frequency of the ringing signal, and generates two binary control signals (+SW, -SW) based upon the error signal at multiple clock instants. These control signals open and close the switching elements (411, 412, 413, 414) in a bridge switch (410) to generate the high-level digital signal.
摘要:
First and second pairs of complementary NPN and PNP transistors have their base and emitter terminals connected in common, a load being disposed intermediate the emitter terminal junctions. By differentially driving the common transistor base junctions a current will flow bidirectionally through the load; and complementary drivers connected to the collectors of a transistor pair provide a current sinking-current source capability at their common collector junction-as for directly driving a logic circuit.
