    摘要: Within hard disk drives (HDDs), for example, a preamplifier or preamp is generally used to perform read and write operations with a magnetic head. Typically, for write operations, the preamplifier generates a current waveform that uses a DC current to polarize magnetic elements within the disk and overshoot components to compensate for frequency dependent attenuation in the interconnect between the head and preamp. Conventional pulse-shaping circuitry used for this application uses high voltage to accomplish this task. Here, however, pulse-shaping circuitry is provided which can generate a similar waveform using lower voltage (i.e., about 5V) for this application and others.
