    摘要: A data storage system comprises magnetoresistive (MR) sensing elements for sensing data from a recording medium that is referenced to ground, and an amplifier circuit including a biasing stage, an amplifying stage, and a matching stage, each referenced to a common supply voltage source and to ground. The biasing stage includes a reference current source for selectively biasing each MR element with a constant current and, in so doing, developing a single-ended voltage signal having a first dc component. The amplifying stage converts the single-ended voltage signal into an amplified single-ended output voltage signal having a second dc component but in which the first dc component is eliminated. The matching stage creates a bias and imposes said bias on the amplifying stage for converting the single-ended output voltage signal to a differential output voltage signal in which the second dc component is eliminated.

    摘要: A circuit for producing a signal whose magnitude is a chosen amplitude compensation characteristic of the signals produced by a magnetoresistive (MR) element comprising an input stage which produces an amplified output signal which is coupled to the output stage, and control signals proportional to the resistance of the MR element and inversely proportional to the resistance of the MR element which are coupled to a feedforward circuit. The feedforward circuit generates a chosen amplitude equalization characteristic of the signals coupled to the feedforward circuit, and this signal is coupled to a bias terminal of the output stage so that the output stage produces a signal representing the chosen amplitude compensation characteristic of the signals produced by the MR element.

    摘要: An amplifier for voltage biasing and amplifying the signals produced by a magnetic sensor is provided. Electrically, the resistance of the sensor is disposed between the bases of a differential pair comprising the input stage of the amplifier. Constant bias voltage for the sensor is provided independently of sensor resistance. DC feedback to the input stage balances current flow in both paths of the differential input stage to correct for DC offset arising in the output from input stage emitter resistor. The amplified signal, representing .DELTA.R.sub.h /R.sub.h, is sensed as a voltage across the magnetoresistive sensor, where .DELTA.R.sub.h is the change in steady-state resistance, R.sub.h, of the sensor.

    摘要: An amplifier circuit is disclosed for simultaneously producing electrical output signals whose magnitude is representative of signals produced by a magnetoresistive (MR) element and protecting said MR element from electrical short circuits between said element and its environment. A means including a first feedback loop biases the MR element with a bias current and amplifies a signal current for causing the MR element to produce a circuit output signal corresponding to dRh/Rh and in which any dc offset error is minimized. Rh is the resistance of the MR element and dRh is the magnetic-signal-induced change in the resistance of the MR element. A second feedback loop insures that the MR element is held at a preselected reference potential and concurrently insures that no current will flow sufficient to damage the element in event of a short circuit between the element and its environment. The feedback loops are interconnected by outputs of the respective feedback loops being commonly connected to the bases of a pair of input bipolar transistors, whose respective emitters are connected to opposite terminals of the MR element.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for measuring the flying height of a slider supporting a magnetic transducer in-situ in a direct manner in an operational magnetic disk storage system. The method and apparatus produce relative motion between the magnetic transducer and a magnetic recording medium at a first velocity so that the resulting air bearing positions the magnetic transducer slider at a first flying height from the magnetic medium. A single signal of constant periodicity is written over a predetermined area of the recording medium by the magnetic transducer, and a readback signal is sensed from the predetermined area of the recording medium to produce a first signal. The flying height of the magnetic transducer slider is lowered to substantially zero, and a readback signal is sensed at the lowered flying height to produce a second signal. The first flying height is then calculated as the ratio, expressed in decibels, of the first and second signals times the wavelength divided by a constant. In an alternate embodiment a plurality of signals are recorded and readback signals are simultaneously sensed at two separate wavelengths. In a further embodiment, a signal is recorded which has a spectral content comprising a plurality of different frequencies, and readback signals are simultaneously sensed at two separate wavelengths.

    摘要: A servo system provides track following servo information from a buried servo layer disposed under the data recording layer, using the same transducer for simultaneously reading the servo information and writing data. To prevent the voltage generated in the transducer while writing data from masking out the servo information, a dummy voltage having the same magnitude as the transducer voltage is connected so that it cancels the write data voltage in the head.
