    摘要: Various illustrative aspects are directed to a data storage device comprising a slider with a resistive temperature detector with a first resistance, a resistance detection circuit electrically coupled to the first resistance and comprising a low and high frequency path corresponding to a DC and AC mode, respectively, and one or more processing devices configured to: bias the first resistance with a voltage bias, where the first resistance is coupled to a first and second amplifier, control a pulse generator to add a bias pulse on the HF path to generate a HF resistance detection signal, where the second amplifier is biased using the voltage bias and the bias pulse, control a clock to chop a LF signal at the first amplifier on the LF path, demodulate the chopped LF signal to generate a LF resistance detection signal, and concurrently process the HF and LF resistance detection signals.

    摘要: Disclosed herein is a data storage device comprising a slider comprising an embedded contact sensor, an electronics module, and a plurality of lines disposed between and coupled to the slider and the electronics module, wherein at least one line of the plurality of lines is configured to both (a) couple a slider bias voltage to a body of the slider to control a potential of the slider, and (b) provide a signal to the embedded contact sensor. The slider may also include a shunt circuit for mitigating radio-frequency interference by shunting it to ground. The slider may include a write element, which may include a write-field enhancement structure. The slider may include a read element for reading from a recording media.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are suspension assembly structures for data storage devices that include physical or virtual crossovers of the pairs of differential signal traces to improve immunity to crosstalk and other interference. In an embodiment, the suspension assembly structure comprises a first trace for carrying a first component of a current to a differential transducer on a slider, a second trace for carrying a second component of the current to the differential transducer on the slider, and third and fourth traces for providing a differential write current to a writer of the data storage device, wherein the first trace physically crosses over the second trace at a first distance from a tail of the suspension assembly structure.

    摘要: A flexible printed circuit (FPC) for a hard disk drive includes a plurality of electrical traces, whereby aggressor traces are isolated from victim traces to avoid crosstalk that could degrade signals. Aggressor traces may be positioned together at one of the edges of each of the top wiring layer and the bottom wiring layer, physically isolated from victim traces. Aggressor traces may be grouped together at either the top wiring layer or the bottom wiring layer, with the victim traces positioned on the layer opposing the aggressor traces. With aggressor and victim traces routed on the same wiring layer, aggressor traces may be routed away from the victim traces with multi-layer routing, by way of vias.
