Abstract:
A coupling apparatus having plurality of branches and a resistive element is disclosed. Each branch may be configured to couple at least one of (i) a first input node and (ii) a second input node to a first output node through a plurality of switches and a plurality of capacitors. The resistive element generally connects the first output node to a second output node. The first output node may be loaded by a respective parasitic capacitance of at least one of the switches.
Abstract:
A storage system with pattern dependent write includes a magnetic write head, a magnetic storage medium, a read channel operable to process write data to be recorded on the magnetic storage medium by the magnetic write head, and a preamplifier operable to receive the write data and an associated clock from the read channel, to generate a pattern dependent write control signal based on a pattern in the write data and on the clock, and to set a write current level through the magnetic write head to a number of different current levels based on the pattern dependent write control signal.
