摘要: A system for determining a fly height includes a first head of a disk drive, a second head of the disk drive, a capacitive sensor circuit coupled to the first head and the second head, and a logic device coupled to the capacitive sensor circuit. The capacitive sensor circuit is configured to measure a first capacitance between the first head and the first disk, remove noise from the first capacitance using a second capacitance between the second head and the second disk, and based thereon determine a corrected first capacitance. The logic device is configured to determine the fly height between the first head and the first disk using the corrected first capacitance.

摘要: A method to drive a digital to analog converter (DAC), the method including setting a reference current for the DAC with a reference current source, a base voltage being responsive to changes in a reference voltage at a reference node coupled with the reference current source; sensing a change in the reference voltage; and adaptively steadying the base voltage based on the change in the reference voltage to maintain proportionality between an output current of the DAC and the reference current.

摘要: According to an embodiment, a circuit includes a core and low-frequency recovery circuits. The core circuit is configured to bias a resistive sensor used to measure a fly height of a hard disk drive. The core circuit is additionally configured to amplify a high-frequency component of a sensing signal of the resistive sensor, the sensing signal indicating the fly height. The low-frequency recovery circuit is configured to amplify the sensing signal's low-frequency component.
