发明名称 Method and apparatus to drive the coil of a magnetic write head
摘要 <p>An H-bridge circuit (100) uses NMOS transistors for upper (125,165) and lower (145,185) sets of transistors. An inductive head (190) is coupled between the terminals (135,175) of the transistors. When a logic signal is received, one of the upper transistors (125,165) is driven responsive to the logic signal. A corresponding lower transistor (145,185) is also driven, forcing current through the inductive head in a first direction. The driving circuit (130,170) for the lower transistors (145,185) includes a programmable circuit (200) structured to capacitively couple the output (250) of the driving circuit to a pull-up voltage, thereby allowing the current forced through the inductive head to be maximized for optimum data transfer. Within the programmable voltage boost circuit are several logic gates (210,220,230), each coupled to a capacitor (216,226,236) of differing value. The inductive head is tested to determine the capacitance value to be coupled to the lower driving transistors. Codes are stored on the chip that identify the corresponding logic gates which are enabled when the H-bridge circuit is operational. The boosted driving circuits quickly change the direction of the flux through the inductive head. &lt;IMAGE&gt; &lt;IMAGE&gt;</p>
