GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 5.0 V pre-amplifier for HDD applications has been
designed for five terminal, dual-stripe
Magneto-Resistive (MR)-read/inductive write heads.
The disks of the disk drive are connected to ground.
To avoid voltage breakthrough 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 device incorporates read amplifiers, write amplifiers, a
serial interface, digital-to-analog converters, reference and
control circuits which all 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 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 further. 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.
Fig.1 shows the block diagram of the device.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
8.1
Read mode
The read mode disables the write circuitry to save power
while reading. The read circuitry is disactivated for write,
sleep and standby modes. The read circuitry may also be
biased during write mode to shorten transients.
The selected head is connected to a multiplexed low-noise
read amplifier. The read amplifier has low-impedance
inputs nRx and nRy (n is the number of the head) and
low-impedance outputs RDx and RDy. The signal polarity
is non-inverting from x and y inputs to x and y outputs.
Ambient magnetic fields at the MR elements result in a
relative change in MR resistance:
This change produces a current variation:
,
where I
MR
is the bias current in the MR element.
The current variation is amplified to form the read data
output signal voltage, which is available at RDx and RDy.
AC coupling between MR elements and amplifier stages
prevents the amplifier input stages from overloading by DC
voltages across the MR elements. A fast settling
procedure shortens DC settling transients.
An on-chip generated stable temperature reference
voltage (1.32 V), available at the R
ext
pin, is dropped
across an external resistor (10 k
) to form a global
reference current for the write and the MR bias currents.
The MR bias current DACs are programmed through the
serial interface according to the following formula:
(in mA), where d4-d0 are bits (either logic 0 or logic 1).
At power-up all bits are set to logic 0, which results in a
default MR current of 5 mA. The adjustable range of the
MR currents is 5 mA to 20.5 mA. The MR bias currents are
equal for the two stripes of each head. The gain amplifier
is 1-bit programmable. The amplifier gain can be set to its
nominal value or to the nominal value +3 dB.

Write mode
To minimize power dissipation, the read circuitry may be
disabled in write mode. The write circuitry is disabled in
read, sleep and standby modes. In write mode, a
programmable current is forced through the selected
two-terminal inductive write head. The push-pull output
drivers yield near rail-to-rail voltage swings for fast current
polarity switching.
The write data input can be either voltage or current input
(see Chapter 12). In voltage mode, the differential write
data inputs WDIx(v) and WDIy(v) are PECL (Positive
Emitter Coupled Logic) compatible. The write data flip-flop
can either be used or passed-by. In the case that the write
data flip-flop is used, current polarity is toggled at the
falling edges of
Switching to write mode initializes the data flip-flop so that
the write current flows in the write head from x to y. In the
case that the write data flip-flop is not used, the signal
polarity is non-inverting from x and y inputs to
x and y outputs.
The write current magnitude is controlled through on-chip
DACs. The write current is defined as follows:
(in mA), where d4-d0 are bits (either logic 0 or logic 1).
The adjustable range of the write current is 20 mA to
51 mA. At power-up, the default values
d4 = d3 = d2 = d1 = d0 = logic 0 are initialized,
corresponding to I
WR
= 20 mA. I
WR
is the current provided
by the write drivers: the current in the write coil and in the
damping resistor together. The static current in the write
coil is
,

is the resistance of the coil including leads and

d
is the damping resistor.

8.3
Sleep mode
In sleep mode, the device is accessible via the serial
interface. All circuits are inactive, except the circuits of the
CMOS serial interface and the circuitry which forces the
data registers to their default values at power-up and
which fixes the DC level of outputs RDx and RDy (required
when operating with more than one amplifier). Typical
static current consumption is
-
30
A. Dynamic current
consumption during operation of the serial interface in
sleep mode due to external activity at the inputs to the
serial interface is not included. In all modes, including the
sleep mode, data registers can be programmed. Sleep is
the default mode at power-up. Switching to other modes
takes less than 0.1 ms.
8.4
Standby mode
The circuit can be put in standby mode using the serial
interface. In standby mode, the typical DC current
consumption is 330
A. Transients from standby mode to
active mode are two orders of magnitude shorter than from
sleep mode to active mode. This is important in the case
of cylinder mode operation with multiple amplifiers.
All amplifiers can operate from standby mode and all head
switch times can be kept just as short as in the case of
operation with a single amplifier. Head switch times are
summarized in the switching characteristics.
8.5
Active mode
Active mode is either read mode or write mode depending
on the status of the R/W pin.
8.6
Bi-directional serial interface
The serial interface is used for programming the device
and for reading of status information. 16 bits (8 bits for
data and 8 for address) are used to program the device.
The serial interface requires 3 pins: SDATA, SCLK and
SEN. These pins (and R/W as well) are CMOS inputs.
The logic input R/W has an internal 20 k
pull-up resistor
and the SEN logic input has an internal 20 k
pull-down
resistor. Thus, in case the SEN line is opened, no data will
be registered and in case the R/W line is opened, the
device will never be in write mode.
SDATA: serial data; bi-directional data interface. In all
circumstances, the LSB is transmitted first.
SCLK: serial clock; 25 MHz clock frequency.
SEN: serial enable; data transfer takes place when SEN is
HIGH. When SEN is LOW, data and clock signals are
prohibited from entering the circuit.
Three phases in the communication are distinguishable:
addressing, programming and reading. Each
communication sequence starts with an addressing
phase, followed by either a programming phase or a
reading phase.
8.6.1
A
DDRESSING
When SEN goes HIGH, bits are latched in at rising edges
of SCLK. The first eight bits a7 to a0 (starting with a0) are
shifted serially into an address register. If SEN goes LOW
before 16 bits have been received, the operation is
ignored. When more than 16 bits (address and data) are
latched in before SEN goes LOW, the first 8 bits are
interpreted as an address and the last 8 bits as data. SEN
should go HIGH at least 5 ns before the first rising edge of
SCLK. Data should be valid at least 5 ns before and after
a rising edge of SCLK. The first six bits a5 to a0 constitute
the register address. Bit a6 is unused. If bit a7 = logic 0,
a PROGRAMMING sequence starts. If bit a7 = logic 1,
READING data from the pre-amplifier can start.
8.6.2
P
ROGRAMMING DATA
If a7 = 0, the last eight bits d7 to d0 before SEN goes LOW
are shifted into an input register. When SEN goes LOW,
the communication sequence is ended and the data in the
input register is copied in parallel to the data register that
corresponds to the decoded address a0 to a5. SEN
should go LOW at least 5 ns after the last rising edge of
SCLK. See Fig.3 for the timing diagram of the
programming.
8.6.3
R
EADING DATA
Immediately after the IC detects that a7 = logic 1, data
from the data register (address a5 to a0) is copied in
parallel to the input register. Two wait clock cycles must
follow before the controller can start inputting data. At the
first falling edge of SCLK after the 2 wait rising edges of
SCLK, the LSB d0 is placed on SDATA line followed by d1
at the next falling edge of SCLK etc. If SEN goes LOW
before 8 address bits (a7 to a0) have been detected, the
communication is ignored. If SEN goes LOW before the
8 data bits have been sent out of the IC, the reading

8.7
Operation of the serial interface
The serial interface programming is summarized in
Section 8.7.10.
8.7.1
C
ONFIGURATION
d0:
By default (d0 = logic 0), write data passes from the
write data input via the data flip-flop to the write driver.
The write driver toggles the current in the head at the
falling edges of:
or
When d0 = logic 1, the write data flip-flop is not used.
The signal polarity is non-inverting from the inputs WDIx
and WDIy to the outputs nWx and nWy.
d1:
By default (d1 = logic 0), the pre-amplifier senses PECL
write signals at WDIx(v) and WDIy(v). When
d1 = logic 1, the pre-amplifier senses input write
currents at WDIx(i) and WDIy(i).
d2:
By default (d2 = logic 0), the write current is inhibited
under low supply voltage conditions. The write current
inhibit is made inactive by programming d2 to logic 1.
d3:
By default (d3 = logic 0), in write mode low supply
voltage, open head, and other conditions are monitored
and flagged at HUS. If d3 = logic 1, HUS is LOW in write
mode and HIGH in read mode.
d4:
The amplifier read gain may be programmed in the
configuration register. By default (d4 = logic 0), the read
gain is typically 160 with R
MR
= 28
. If d4 = logic 1, the
read amplifier gain is 3 dB higher (226 in this case).
d5:
In order to minimize the write-to-read recovery times,
the first stage of the read amplifier may be kept biased
during write mode. By default, (d5 = logic 0) the read
amplifier is powered down during write mode, and the
fast settling procedure is activated after write-to-read
switching. If d5 = logic 1 the read amplifier is kept biased
during write mode, and the fast settling procedure still
occurs if the head is changed or the MR current is
re-programmed.

8.7.2
P
OWER CONTROL
By default, d1 = d0 = logic 0, the pre-amplifier powers up
in sleep mode. If d1 = logic 0, d0 = logic 1 or d1 = logic 1,
d0 = logic 0 the circuit goes in standby mode.
If d1 = d0 = logic 1, the circuit goes in active mode (read or
write mode depending on the R/W input).
8.7.3
H
EAD SELECT
Selection of a wrong head (H10-H15) causes an head
unsafe condition. HUS goes HIGH when in write mode a
wrong head is selected and when d3 in the configuration
register is LOW. When in read mode and a wrong head is
selected, head H0 is therefore selected and if d3 in the
configuration register is LOW, HUS goes LOW.
8.7.4
S
ERVO WRITE
The circuit is prepared for servo writing. However, the
device will not be guaranteed.
8.7.5
T
EST
d2 = d1 = d0 = logic 0. The circuit is not in test mode. This
is the default situation.
8.7.5.1
MR head test
d2 = logic 0, d1 = logic 0, d0 = logic 1. In read mode, the
voltages at Rx and Ry (at the top of the MR elements) of
the selected head are fed to outputs RDx and RDy.
By measuring the output voltages single ended at two
different I
MR
currents, the MR resistance can be accurately
measured according to the following formula:
for the x-side.
Open head and head short-circuited-to-ground conditions
can therefore be detected.
d2 = logic 0, d1 = logic 1, d0 = logic 0. Same as before,
with the difference that I
MR2
is fixed to a minimum constant
value of 5 mA. Measuring in the same way as above with
I
MR1
> 5 mA, enables the detection of MR elements
shorted together.
8.7.5.2
Temperature monitor
d2 = logic 0, d1 = logic 1, d0 = logic 1. The temperature
monitor voltages are connected to RDx and RDy.
The output differential voltage depends on the
temperature according to: dV =
-
0.00364
T + 1.7;
0 < T < 140
C. The temperature may be measured with a
typical precision of 5
C.

8.7.5.3
Thermal asperity detector
d2 = logic 1, d1 = x, d0 = (0,1). Unlike the above tests, the
thermal asperity detection does not use the RDx and RDy
outputs. Thus, the reader is fully operational. In case a
thermal asperity is detected, it is flagged at the HUS pin.
The threshold voltage for the thermal asperity detection is
2-bit programmable. These 2 bits consist of d0 (LSB) of
the test mode register (address = 0xxx0110), and d2 of the
compensation capacitor register (address = 0xxx0111).

d2 of the compensation capacitor register.
8.7.6
W
RITE AMPLIFIER PROGRAMMABLE CAPACITORS
By default (d2 = d1 = d0 = logic 0) the programmable
capacitors are zero. These capacitors are used to improve
the performance of the write amplifier according to the
write amplifier output load.
8.7.7
H
IGH FREQUENCY GAIN ATTENUATOR REGISTER
By default (d3 = d2 = d1 = d0 = logic 0) the high frequency
gain attenuator is not active. The gain attenuator provides
a pole which limits the bandwidth and reduces the high

frequency noise. The HF pole can be used in combination
with the HF zero in order to boost the HF gain locally and
yet limit the very high frequency noise enhancement.
8.7.8
H
IGH FREQUENCY GAIN BOOST REGISTER
By default (d3 = d2 = d1 = d0 = logic 0) the high frequency
gain boost is not active.
The gain boost provides a zero which allows to optimize
the bandwidth of the read amplifier and to correct for
attenuation caused by series inductances in the leads
between the MR heads and the read amplifier inputs.
8.7.9
S
ETTLE PULSE
By default (d2 = d1 = d0 = logic 0) the settle pulse has a
nominal duration of 3
s. Its value can be programmed
from 2.125

Head unsafe
The HUS pin is an open collector output. Therefore when
the pin is not connected to an external pull-up resistor,
HUS is LOW. HUS pins can be connected together in case
of operation with more than one amplifier. It is used to
detect abnormal or unexpected operation.
Sleep mode: HUS is HIGH, to permit working with more
than one amplifier.
Standby mode: HUS is HIGH, to permit working with
more than one amplifier.
Read mode:
If in the configuration register d3 = 1, HUS is HIGH
If in the configuration register d3 = 0, HUS goes LOW

Detection of low V

(main supply): a V

5% is flagged at the HUS pin. The voltage
detection range is then 4.2 to 3.8 V with an hysteresis of

. One must be aware that
such a detection is only aimed to warn for a catastrophic
situation. Indeed, V

should never be below V

Test mode: HUS is HIGH except when the TAS detector
is ON. If a thermal asperity is detected, HUS goes LOW.
Servo write mode: HUS is LOW.

Notes to the recommended operating conditions
1. A supply by-pass capacitor from V
CC
to ground or a
low pass filter may be used to optimize the PSRR.
2. The supply voltage V
CC(WD)
must never be below V
CC
in normal mode, and two diode 1.4 V above V
CC
in
servo mode.
3. The given values should be interpreted in the way that
the single ended voltage could swing from
0.2 to 0.75 V, and that the common mode voltage
should be such that for any of the two states, the
V
IH(PECL)
is less than V
CC
and V
IL(PECL)
is more than
1.5 V.
PECL voltage swing: a wider peak-to-peak voltage
swing can be used. In that case a current will flow
through the WDI inputs. This current is approximately
equal to
WDIx v
( )
WDIy v
( )
1.4
200
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Same comments for the given values as for the
voltage input mode. The HIGH (respectively LOW)
level input current is defined such that it produces the
same effect at the output of the writer (Wx, Wy) as the
HIGH (resp. LOW) level input voltage.
5. The mismatch refers to the resistance of the two
stripes of the same head. This is defined as follows:
(R
MR
) = abs(R
MR1
-
R
MR2
).
6. These parameters depend on the head model.
The data given in the table are those used for testing.
7. The combination of maximum head resistance, lead
resistance and bias current is not permitted. To avoid
voltage breakthrough between heads and disk, the
voltage over the MR elements is limited by two diode
voltages.

Notes to the characteristics
1. The differential voltage gain depends on the MR
resistance. It can be improved by programming the
d4 bit in the configuration register.
2. The gain boost implements a pole-zero combination:
The +3 dB gain boost corner frequency is
. The
-
3 dB gain
attenuation corner frequency is
, where d3, d2, d1 and d0
are to be programmed via the serial interface. In
practical use, the bandwidth is limited by the
inductance of the connection between the MR heads
and the pre-amplifier.
3. Noise calculation
a) Definitions: The amplifier has a low input
resistance. No lead resistance is taken into
account. The input referred noise voltage,
excluding the noise of the MR resistors, is defined
as:
,
where G
v
is the voltage gain, V
no
is the noise
voltage at the output of the amplifier, k is the
Boltzmann constant and T is the temperature in K.
The noise figure is defined as follows:
in 1 Hz
bandwidth. Note that R
MR
includes all resistances
between Rx or Ry to ground.
b) Noise figure versus I
MR
and R
MR
: Table 1 shows
the variation of the noise figure with I
MR
and R
MR
.
c) Input referred noise voltage: The input referred
noise voltage calculation can be significantly
different (from 1.0 to 0.44 nV/
Hz for instance) by
taking an equivalent signal-to-noise ratio into
account when using two MR stripes (28
for each
stripe) or one MR stripe (42
). It assumes that the
signal coming from the head is larger for a
dual-stripe head than for a single-stripe head (50%
extra signal for a dual-stripe head).
4. The channel separation is defined by the ratio of the
gain response of the amplifier using the selected head
H(n) to the gain response of the amplifier using the
adjacent head H(n
1), head H(n) being selected.

The PSRR (in dB) is defined as input referred ratio:
, where G
v
is the differential input
to differential output gain, and G
p
is the power supply
to differential output gain.The CMRR (in dB) is defined
as input referred ratio:
, where
G
v
is the differential input to differential output gain and
G
cm
is the common mode input to differential output
gain. Flex and board lay-out may affect these
parameters significantly.
6. This refers to the crosstalk from SCLK and SDATA
inputs via the read inputs to RDx and RDy. Two cases
can be distinguished:
a) When SEN is LOW, SCLK and SDATA are
prohibited reaching the device and crosstalk is low.
b) Programming via the serial interface is done with
SEN HIGH. Then crosstalk can occur. A careful
design of the board or flex-foil is required to avoid
crosstalk via this path.
7. The rise and fall times depend on the
write amplifier/write head combination. L
h
and R
h
represent the components on the evaluation board.
Parasitic capacitances also limit the performance.
8. The write current rise/fall time asymmetry is defined by
9. Write-to-read recovery time includes the write mode to
read mode switching using the R/W pin on the same
head (see Fig.5). The AC signal reaches its full
amplitude few tens of ns after appearing at the reader
RDx and RDy outputs.
10. In read mode, the head switching, standby to read
active switching and changing MR current include fast
current settling (see Fig.5). The AC signal reaches its
full amplitude few tenth of ns after appearing at the
reader RDx and RDy outputs.
11. Write settling time includes the read mode to write
mode switching using the R/W pin.
12. The typical supply current in read mode depends on
the bias current for the MR element.
13. The typical supply current in write mode also depends
on the write current.
