Abstract:
A method is disclosed for controlling the write head of a magnetic disk storage device. The method includes sinking current from the first terminal (2A) of the write head (2) and sourcing current to the second terminal (2B) of the write head substantially simultaneously with sinking current from the first terminal so that a first steady state voltage level appears on the first terminal of the write head and a second steady state voltage level appears on the second terminal thereof that are approximately at a midpoint between a high reference voltage level and a low reference voltage level. The common mode voltage of the write head is substantially constant over time.
