    Abstract: An H-bridge circuit (100) uses NMOS transistors for upper (125,165) and lower (145,185) sets of transistors. An inductive head (190) is coupled between the terminals (135,175) of the transistors. When a logic signal is received, one of the upper transistors (125,165) is driven responsive to the logic signal. A corresponding lower transistor (145,185) is also driven, forcing current through the inductive head in a first direction. The driving circuit (130,170) for the lower transistors (145,185) includes a programmable circuit (200) structured to capacitively couple the output (250) of the driving circuit to a pull-up voltage, thereby allowing the current forced through the inductive head to be maximized for optimum data transfer. Within the programmable voltage boost circuit are several logic gates (210,220,230), each coupled to a capacitor (216,226,236) of differing value. The inductive head is tested to determine the capacitance value to be coupled to the lower driving transistors. Codes are stored on the chip that identify the corresponding logic gates which are enabled when the H-bridge circuit is operational. The boosted driving circuits quickly change the direction of the flux through the inductive head.

    Abstract: A circuit (102,103) for controlling the write head (101) of a magnetic disk storage device includes a pull-up device (104) for selectively providing a current to the write head and a current sink circuit (106) selectively activated to draw current from the write head. A bootstrap circuit (108) is coupled to the current sink circuit. When reversing the direction of current flow through the write head from a first direction to the write head to a second direction from the write head terminal, the bootstrap circuit and the current sink circuit are activated to rapidly draw current from the write head. When the current in the write head nears and/or slightly surpasses the desired destination level, the bootstrap circuit is deactivated.

    Abstract: An H-bridge circuit (100) uses NMOS transistors for both the upper (125,165) and lower (145,185) sets of transistors. An inductive head (190) is coupled between the terminals (135,175) of the transistors. When a logic signal is received, it is boosted with a circuit (110,150) including a capacitor (112,152) and is used to drive one of the upper transistors (125,165). The upper transistor (125) selected to be driven is responsive to the logic signal (X). A corresponding lower transistor (185) is also driven, forcing current through the inductive head in a first direction. When the logic signal is received that is the complement (X) of the first logic signal, the other upper (165) and lower (145) transistors turn on, thereby driving current through the inductive head in the other direction. Transistors in the H-bridge circuit are NMOS transistors and boosted driving circuits quickly change the direction of the flux through the inductive head.
