A method and system for calibrating the write current of a current mode write driver having a first PFET coupled to a first NFET at a first node connected to a first side of a write head of the write driver, and a second PFET coupled to a second NFET at a second node connected to a second side of the write head. The write driver also defines an INODE where a source of the first NFET is coupled to a source of the second NFET, and the write driver is put in a state where all FET devices are in an off condition. A precision resistor R is connected from the NODE I/O pin of the write driver to a positive potential VDD I/O pin of the write driver, causing a current I1 to flow, where I1=V/R, and V is a voltage across the resistor.
