For example, some embodiments provide an apparatus for supplying current, including an output transistor connected between a voltage supply and a current output, and an active clamp connected between the current output and a current sink. The active clamp is adapted to connect the current output to the current sink when a voltage at the current output reaches a predetermined state relative to a voltage at a control input of the output transistor.

    摘要: Laser diode driver architectures are disclosed. Some example current drivers are described, including a current channel to provide an output current. The current channel includes a current mirror with emitter degeneration, a startup transistor coupled to the current mirror to generate a DC bias on the current mirror, a beta helper circuit coupled to the current mirror and the startup transistor, to maintain the DC bias on the current mirror, and a cutoff transistor coupled to an emitter terminal of a current mirror transistor and to a reference voltage, to selectively couple the emitter terminal to the reference voltage to conduct the pre-determined output current. The example current drivers also include an output stage coupled to the output of the current mirror and to an output device, wherein the output stage provides a current gain in response to the cutoff transistor coupling the emitter terminal to the reference voltage.

    摘要: A biasing scheme is disclosed that helps reduce current noise in an associated device, such as, for example, a magneto-resistive device. The biasing scheme provides for setting a resistance path in a preamplifier, which is operative to energize the associated device, based on a biasing current that is to be used with associated device. Alternatively or additionally, the resistance path can be set based on a resistance of the associated device. As a result of setting the resistance path in this manner, noise through the associated device can be mitigated during its energization.

    摘要: A preamplifier and method writes data synchronized with the passing of a write head in a magnetic storage device over bit islands in discrete patterned recording media. The preamplifier contains a write pre-driver that conditions write data, a synchronization circuit that accepts a delay offset value and a write clock and produces a delayed clock, and a write output driver that is gated by the delayed clock to produce write pulses for magnetizing the bit islands. Gating the write output driver using the delayed clock results in more accurate synchronization than delaying the write data into the preamplifier due to the reduction of the overall length and variability of interconnects and transistors in the intervening circuitry. Write clock generation circuitry, as well as bit position sensor circuitry for use with bit position signals produced by a read head or by a separate bit position sensor, are optionally integrated into the preamplifier, close to the write output driver and write head, for further improvements in delay accuracy and stability. Write pulses produced by the preamplifier are thus well aligned with the bit islands, resulting in higher magnetization and an improved bit error rate.
