    摘要: A signaling method and apparatus for providing two write assist components for perpendicular thin film heads writing to high coercivity media is disclosed. The two components provided by the present invention include a media writing assist component and a head switching assist component. Circuit wiring configurations and waveforms for driving an auxiliary half coil are disclosed. These include configurations for connecting the auxiliary half coil in parallel with the main data coil, or connecting the auxiliary half coil to the thermal flight control system. Provision for both common mode signals as well as differential mode signals are disclosed. RF sinusoidal waveforms between 1 and 5 GHz have been found suitable for head switching assist functions for either symmetric current feed and common mode current configuration, or asymmetric current feed and differential mode current configuration. RF sinusoidal waveforms between 10 and 50 GHz have been found suitable for media writing assist functions for either asymmetric or symmetric current feed and differential mode configuration. Data derived signals obtained by passing the data pulse train though high pass filtration has been found to provide both head switching assist and media writing assist functionality. Data derived signals can be used with or without the RF signals.

    摘要: A compliant, flexible air bearing slider (ABS) reduces the contact forces between the slider and disk, thereby reducing excessive burnishing and wear and increasing the reliability of the slider. According to an embodiment, an ABS has at least one “compliance-enhancing feature” which reduces the bending mode vibration frequency of the slider. By causing the slider to flex, and bringing the bending mode vibration frequency closer to the pitch 2 eigenmode frequency, coupling of the different vibration modes can be obtained. Thus, the different vibration modes can effectively dampen each other and result in reduced contact forces between the slider and disk.

    摘要: Real time monitoring inconsistent operations in a hard disk drive, wherein the hard disk drive comprises a magnetic disk, a controller and a channel clock. A timing signal from the channel clock is measured in real time in the controller. Time intervals between sector identifier marks of the magnetic disk are detected using the timing signal from the channel clock during reading and writing operations of the hard disk drive in the controller. An inconsistency in the drive operations is detected in the controller based on changes in the time intervals between the sector identifier marks is detected during operation of the hard disk drive. The detection of the inconsistency in the drive operations is responded to.

    摘要: In a method of head-disk contact detection in a hard disk drive, a Radio Frequency (RF) carrier signal is injected into a slider which is flying above a surface of a disk in a hard disk drive. A modulated version of the RF carrier signal is received from the slider. The modulated version of the RF carrier signal is demodulated to achieve a demodulated signal. A signal spectrum of a range of frequencies in the demodulated signal is monitored for activity indicative of a contact between a head of the slider and the surface of the disk. An occurrence of the contact is determined based upon an occurrence of the activity.

    摘要: In a method of actively controlling slider fly height, a modulated radio frequency (RF) carrier signal is received from a slider. The modulated RF carrier signal comprises an amplitude modulated component which is modulated onto the modulated RF carrier signal by vibration of the slider. The amplitude associated with the amplitude modulated component is measured. Thermal fly height control (TFC) voltage generation is controlled by feeding back on the amplitude. A TFC voltage to apply to the slider is generated such that a selected amplitude of the amplitude modulated component is achieved and maintained. The selected amplitude is associated with a particular preselected fly height of the slider above a surface of a disk. The TFC voltage is provided to the slider.
