    摘要: A pulse-mode data writing protocol is disclosed which reduces the time required to implement a transition in the direction of magnetization of a recording medium, and which reduces the total power required to encode a given data sequence. After a magnetic transition is encoded on the medium by generating a write current pulse through the write head, the write current through the recording head is reduced, thereby utilizing the spatial extent of the write bubble to encode the lack of a transition on the medium. Alternate configurations are disclosed for various scenarios of write bubble size versus maximum cell size, all utilizing the principle of the invention.

    摘要: Echo cancellation is provided in a disk drive circuit having a transducing head connected to a preamplifier circuit by an electrical interconnect with a first time delay, a first interface between the preamplifier and the electrical interconnect having a first reflection coefficient and a second interface between the transducing head and the electrical interconnect having a second reflection coefficient. The echo cancellation technique delays a preamplifier output signal with a second time delay, the second time delay being double the first time delay. The preamplifier output signal is also filtered so as to simulate the effects of the first and second reflection coefficients. The delayed and filtered signal is then subtracted from the preamplifier output signal, thereby removing echo content from the signal.

    摘要: A write driver circuit selectively provides a write current through a write head in first and second opposite directions. The write driver circuit is connected to the write head through an interconnect. The write driver circuit provides an incident write current signal through the interconnect to the write head, and also provides a reflection cancellation signal through the interconnect to the write head. In an exemplary embodiment, the incident write current signal is provided by providing an incident voltage signal across the write head, and the reflection cancellation signal is provided by providing a reflection cancellation voltage signal across the write head. In an exemplary embodiment, the reflection cancellation signal is a delayed and filtered version of the incident write current signal that cancels a reflected signal that is reflected at the interface between the interconnect and the write head due to impedance mismatching.

    摘要: A preamplifier system is connected through an interconnect to a read head. The preamplifier system includes a voltage-sense preamplifier having at least one input connected through the interconnect to the read head and having at least one output, and also includes a current-sense preamplifier having at least one input connected through the interconnect to the read head and having at least one output. A summing circuit is connected to combine the outputs of the voltage-sense preamplifier and the current-sense preamplifier. For optimal performance, the preamplifier system is impedance matched to the interconnect. The preamplifier system achieves excellent response due to impedance matching with acceptably low noise levels, since the correlated noise associated with the current-sense preamplifier is canceled at the summing circuit.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: A power supply filter has a primary current source coupled to a node carrying a power supply signal. The second end of the primary current source is coupled to an impedance that is further coupled to a low voltage node. A differential amplifier having an inverting input, a non-inverting input, and an output, has its non-inverting input coupled to the junction between the impedance and the primary current source. The output of the differential amplifier carries the filtered power supply signal and is coupled to a capacitance. The capacitance is coupled between the output and a lower voltage. A feedback path is coupled between the output and the inverting input.
