摘要:
The invention includes a testing method which may be applied to at least one writer in a disk drive during the self-test phase to generate write parameters, focused on the Over Shoot Control (OSC) of the write current parameter to improve the reliability of write operations by that writer. The Minimum OSC is used for write operations in normal temperatures. The Optimum OSC is used for a first lower temperature range, preferably between essentially 15 degrees Centigrade and essentially 5 degrees Centigrade. The Maximum OSC is preferred below essentially 5 degrees Centigrade. The Minimum OSC should preferably guarantee both an Adjacent Track Write (ATW) criteria, as well as guarantee a Write Induced Instability (WII) criteria. The invention includes the write parameter collection, as well as the disk drive containing the generated write parameter collection. The invention also includes the method of using that write parameter collection to control a writer while writing to tracks belonging to the radial zone collection and program systems implementing the invention's methods.

Thermal pole tip protrusion is caused by materials in and around head slider expanding during write operations till they protrude, leading to contact with the rotating disk surface, altering the flying height and often wearing down part of the disk surface. While well known that read-write heads expand during writing, the inventors who recognized this situation's significance, particularly as flying height decreases and data rates increase, both required for high areal density disk drives. The inventors realized that they could detect the problem at the spin stand level by testing head gimbal assemblies to reliably, and inexpensively, predict the tendency for thermal pole tip protrusion. This leads to selection of head gimbal assemblies, which do not have the thermal pole tip protrusion tendency. The selected head gimbal assemblies have better reliability, as do actuators and disk drives made with the selected head gimbal assemblies.

The present invention is a method and system to optimize a write channel in a hard disk drive. The method comprises providing a disk having a at least one side with a plurality of tracks, and selecting a target track from the plurality of tracks. Data is written at least once on a predetermined plurality of tracks adjacent to either side of the target track and on the target track. Data is also written a predetermined number of times on tracks immediately adjacent to the target track. Data written on the predetermined plurality of tracks adjacent to either side of the target track and on the target track is then read. The process then determines if a number of errors on the tracks is greater than a predetermined criteria, if so, a write current value of the write channel is decreased, otherwise the write current value is increased.

A method of controlling a flying height of a magnetic head of a hard disk drive includes calculating a corrected flying on demand (FOD) voltage to correct a difference between a measured flying height measured by applying a burn-in FOD voltage corresponding to a target flying height and a burn-in flying height in a reference FOD voltage profile corresponding to the burn-in FOD voltage, using the reference FOD voltage profile, in the reference FOD voltage profile that is a profile of a second signal for calculating the flying height of the magnetic head with respect to a first signal for calculating an FOD voltage that allows an end of the magnetic head to thermally expand and protrude when applied to a heater included in the magnetic head, and applying an applied FOD voltage obtained by applying the corrected FOD voltage, to the burn-in FOD voltage, to control the flying height of the magnetic head. Thus, the reliability in the read/write operation can be improved and performance of the hard disk drive can be improved.

A hard disk drive includes a magnetic head to write data to a disk by magnetizing the disk using a leakage magnetic flux that leaks in a disk direction through a write gap provided between a write pole to apply a magnetic field to the disk and a shield provided separately from the write pole, and an actuator arm allowing the magnetic head to pivot over the disk. In the hard disk drive, the write gap is asymmetrically formed to a left and a right with respect to a center axis line of the write pole according to a movement direction of the magnetic head when the magnetic head pivots over the disk.
