The 5.0 V pre-amplifier for HDD described here is
designed for five terminals, dual stripe Magneto-Resistive
(MR)-read/inductive-write heads. The disks of the disk
drive are connected to ground. To avoid voltage
break-through between the heads and the disk, the MR
elements of the heads are also connected to ground. The
symmetry of the dual-stripe head-amplifier combination
automatically distinguishes between the differential
signals such as signals and the common-mode effects like
interference. The latter are rejected by the amplifier.
The IC incorporates read amplifiers, write amplifiers, serial
interface, digital-to-analog converters, reference and
control circuits which operate on a single supply voltage of
5 V 10%. The output drivers have a separate supply
voltage pin which can be connected to a higher supply
voltage of up to 8 V +10%. The complementary output
stages of the write amplifier allow writing with near
rail-to-rail peak voltages across the inductive write head.
The read amplifier has a low input impedance. The DC
offset between the two stripes of the MR head is eliminated
using on-chip AC coupling. Fast settling features are used
to keep the transients short. As an option, the read
amplifier may be left biased during writing so as to reduce
the duration of these transients even more. Series
inductance in the leads between the amplifier and MR
heads influences the bandwidth which can be
compensated by using a programmable high-frequency
gain-boost (HF zero). HF noise and bandwidth can be
attenuated using a programmable high-frequency
gain-attenuator (HF pole).
On-chip digital-to-analog converters for MR bias currents
and write currents are programmed via a 3-wire serial
interface. Head selection, mode control, testing and servo
writing can also be programmed using the serial interface.
In sleep mode the CMOS serial interface is operational.
