    摘要: A system, method, and device for sensing temperature during the writing of information onto magnetic media and providing a sufficient write current for that temperature is disclosed. The system comprises a head responsive to a write current for generating a magnetic flux used in writing data onto the magnetic media, a write current source coupled to the head for receiving a write signal and providing write current to the head, and a temperature responsive device coupled to the write current source that senses temperature and provides a write signal whose magnitude is dependent on temperature.

    摘要: A method for characterizing a bearing cartridge based on a preload applied to the bearing cartridge used in a disc drive, to increase disc drive yield rates. The method begins by loading the bearing cartridge on to a test fixture and to an actuator assembly such that the actuator is rotatably attached to the base by the bearing cartridge. Then, the method includes inducing a steady swing in the actuator. Then, the method includes measuring a voltage drop that occurs across the bearing cartridge during the steady swing to characterize the preload applied to the bearing cartridge.

    摘要: A process of run-time temperature compensating bias current to a magnetoresistive read head in which a plurality of temperature ranges are defined with associated bias current values. A hysteresis range of temperatures is defined for each boundary between temperature ranges. A bias current value is selected based on the temperature range of the sensed temperature. The process is repeated. If the sensed temperature is in a different temperature range from that previously identified and the measured temperature is not in a hysteresis range at the boundary with the temperature range previously identified, the selected bias current value is based on the presently identified temperature range. If the sensed temperature is in a hysteresis range at the boundary with the temperature range previously.

    摘要: A system, method, and device for moving a plurality of heads in a disk drive is disclosed. The system comprises hard disks, read/write heads for reading from or writing to the hard disks, a voice coil motor for moving the plurality of heads, a voice coil motor driver for energizing the voice coil motor, a voltage clamp device for regulating a voltage across the voice coil motor, and a park voltage source. The voltage clamp device comprises a transistor, a switch, and a resistive divider network. During head parking, a park voltage source activates the voltage clamp device, which clamps the voltage across the voice coil motor to a fixed value, resulting in movement of the voice coil and heads towards a park location with fixed velocity.

    摘要: A system for low acoustic noise spindle motor commutation is disclosed. The system contains a control device that generates commutation control signals which cause spindle motor drivers to source or sink current through windings of a spindle motor. The windings create electromagnetic fields which induce rotational movement in a spindle motor rotor. Low acoustic noise snubber devices are coupled to each winding and are dynamically configurable by the control device to provide low spindle motor driver charging current upon initial application of power to the spindle motor, and reduced acoustic noise and back EMF-generated current and voltage surges at the spindle motor driver during spindle motor commutation.
