An H-bridge for applying a current to a coil of a write head assembly for writing data to a magnetic media includes two pair of two switchable transistors. Each pair of transistors is connected between a supply voltage and a reference potential and is adapted to be connected to the coil between the transistors of each pair for turning the transistors turned on and off in a sequence to control the direction of current flow in the coil. The upper transistors of each pair serves a switching transistor, and the lower transistors provide a mirrored referenced current to the coil. A pair of capacitors are connected to a control element of a respective associated one of the lower transistors, and switching circuitry is connected to the capacitors to selectively connect each of the capacitors to inject current into the control element of the respective associated lower transistor when the respective associated lower transistor is turned on. Also disclosed is a technique for adjusting the amount of boost current injected into the lower transistors.

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.

A write head is described having a switchable damping resistance coupled in parallel with an inductor. The damping resistance is decoupled from the inductor by rendering a transistor nonconductive when a direction of current in the inductor changes. The damping resistance is then coupled to the inductor before oscillations begin in the current in the inductor. The decoupling of the damping resistor eliminates power dissipation in the damping resistor during a change in the direction of current in the inductor.

A driving circuit for driving a floating circuit (28) responsive to a digital signal (IN) includes two DMOS transistors (10, 12) which are driven in opposite phase on their respective gates starting from the digital signal. The two DMOS transistors are biased by a current source which is formed by a current mirror (16, 18), which mirrors a reference current (I.sub.BIAS), and by an auxiliary circuit (34-44) for injecting an additional current pulse during switching. Two MOS transistors (20, 22) serve as the respective loads for the two DMOS transistors. The MOS transistors can be P-channel transistors, in which event the gate of each MOS transistor (20, 22) can be connected to the drain of the other MOS transistor. Two Zener diodes (24, 26) can be employed to limit the voltage between the gate and source of the respective MOS transistor. The driving output of the floating circuit (28) can be the drain of one of the DMOS transistors.
