    Abstract: Systems, devices, processes, and methods of optimizing a data storage device based on adjacent track interference (ATI) are presented. ATI can be detected by writing a specific track of a disc a number of times and measuring a bit error rate (BER) of an adjacent track. In addition, more accurate in-field simulations of ATI can be achieved by seeking to another track, such as an adjacent track, in-between each write to the specific track. Further, in a heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) device, a laser bias control can be implemented during at least one of the seeks to calibrate a laser in-between each write. Even further, the seeks may be anticipatory track seeks (ATS).

    Abstract: A heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) device includes a controller that selects a power for operating a heat source for a data write to a target data track. According to one implementation, the controller selects the power based on an assessment of whether the target data track is bounded by any data-storing tracks. A first power is selected when the data track is not bounded by any data-storing tracks and a second lower power is selected when the data track is bounded by one or more data-storing tracks. In another implementation, the controller writes to different partitioned regions of a storage media with different powers of the heat source. The controller selects a storage location for data based on an expected write error rate and environmental conditions within the HAMR device.

    Abstract: Spin-transfer torque memory includes a composite free magnetic element, a reference magnetic element having a magnetization orientation that is pinned in a reference direction, and an electrically insulating and non-magnetic tunneling barrier layer separating the composite free magnetic element from the magnetic reference element. The free magnetic element includes a hard magnetic layer exchanged coupled to a soft magnetic layer. The composite free magnetic element has a magnetization orientation that can change direction due to spin-torque transfer when a write current passes through the spin-transfer torque memory unit.

    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention are generally directed to an apparatus and associated method for updating data in a non-volatile memory array. In accordance with some embodiments, a memory block is formed with a plurality of types of memory cell sectors arranged in data pages of a first type and log pages of a second type that can be updated in-place. A first updated sector is written to a first log page while maintaining an outdated sector in an original data page, and overwritten with a second updated sector.

    Abstract: A preamplifier circuit can include a control line dedicated to receive a control signal that corresponds to indicating a specific register of the preamplifier circuit, which can allow the preamplifier to switch between utilizing two or more registers to control a current output of the preamplifier circuit. The preamplifier circuit may also have a serial input to program multiple registers of the preamplifier circuit in a serial fashion. In some embodiments, the current output may be a laser bias current. The preamplifier may adjust an output current that drives a laser emitter based on a control signal indicating which specific registers controls the output current. Further, a controller, such as a system-on-chip controller, may selectively vary the control signal to affect the current output of the preamplifier circuit. These systems and methods may be particularly useful for lasers and heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR).
