    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: 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.

    摘要: A clock signal is generated by receiving an input clock signal having an input clock signal frequency, dividing the input clock signal frequency by a selected number to produce a lower frequency output clock signal, and shifting the phase of the output clock signal. The phase can be shifted by changing, for at least a predetermined amount of time, the selected number by which the input clock signal frequency is divided, and then restoring the selected number to its original value. The clock can be used as a channel sampling clock, and it can be synchronized to the data by the phase shifting. One implementation uses a chain of flip-flops for dividing the frequency and additional circuitry for shifting phase. The flip-flops may be connected with minimum logic in order to operate at substantially the highest frequency reachable by a given transistor technology.

    摘要: A frequency synthesizer, a multi-channel carrier generator, and a transceiver, as well as a method for generating a sub-carrier frequency are described. The frequency synthesizer includes two directly-connected, sequential chains of flip-flops, the first chain having N flip-flops, and the second chain having M flip-flops. The first chain of N flip-flops is clocked by a reference frequency input. Each chain provides a clocked output to an optional duty-cycle recovery circuit, which is in turn coupled to a frequency-update module. There is a sub-threshold low-pass filter included in the frequency-update module which feeds into an oscillator, providing, in turn, the generated frequency as an input to the second chain of M flip-flops, and a sub-carrier frequency output.
