The present invention provides techniques for generating an intense magnetic pulse very quickly. The present invention includes a device that drives high current through a write head, which generates a burst of magnetic flux that in turn generates a high-intensity fringing field. To rapidly build up the current through the write head, the write head is coupled to a high voltage source. A switching circuit prevents current from flowing in the write head. In response to a signal from a control circuit, the switching circuit provides a path for current to flow through the write head. Current flow through the write head rises rapidly, which causes a burst of magnetic flux and generates a high-intensity magnetic fringing field. The high-intensity fringing field may be used to write to a magnetic medium.
