    摘要: A method and apparatus for compensating a base current of a bipolar junction transistor by replicating operating conditions of the BJT in a compensating circuit. An output current of the compensating circuit is fractionally related to the base current and thus can be supplied to an operational circuit comprising the BJT to compensate the base current. In a preferred embodiment, the BJT is operated between BVCEO and BVCBO and the base current to be compensated flows from the BJT.

    摘要: A differential input/differential output converter circuit. The circuit comprises differential complementary input modules each comprising cross-coupled devices for biasing current mirror masters to a condition that increases the operating speed in response to a transition in the differential input signals. Certain current mirror masters are biased to a strong threshold condition and other current mirror masters are biased to a weak threshold condition responsive to a state of the differential input signals. According to another embodiment, the converter circuit further comprises a boost circuit capacitively coupled to the converter circuit for providing further speed improvements.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for providing electrostatic discharge protection for a disc drive read head. A pair of depletion mode MOSFETS, and a fuse associated with each are disposed between the read head output terminals. The MOSFETS are controlled to an “off” state for testing the preamplifier prior to assembly of the read head. After assembly of the head, a second pair of MOSFETS is gated to an “on” state to open the fuses and thus permit normal operation of the read head.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for controlling the common mode voltage across a data storage device write head. The write current is supplied by a first plurality of parallel current sources each independently activated to limit the common mode voltage generated across the write head. A plurality of parallel resistive elements responsive to current supplied by a second plurality of parallel current sources bias an output transistor that further controls the write current. Each of the plurality of parallel resistive elements and each of the second plurality of parallel current sources is also independently activated to limiting the common mode voltage generated across the write head.
