    Abstract: A write signal may be adjusted, or modified, based on one or more read signals acquired, or read from, one or more portions proximate a target portion on a storage medium where the write signal is to be applied. The one or more read signals may be read from the storage medium in response to receiving a write data unit such that the read signals may not need to be buffered or later clock synchronized to the write signal.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for a providing a chirped current profile with an undershoot for a channel preamplifier are described. A method for writing bits in a magnetic recording disc may include applying an overshoot to a write current which is supplied to a magnetic writer of the magnetic recording disc and applying an undershoot to the write current after the overshoot is applied to at least partially de-saturate the magnetic writer. The method may also include writing a bit to the magnetic recording disc with the magnetic writer using the supplied write current. In some examples, the application of a short negative pulse after an overshoot portion of the write current waveform is delivered to the head during a write operation that writes the bit to the magnetic recording disc.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for a flexible dynamic loop having reduced impedance are described. The flexible dynamic loop may supply current from a preamplifier to another device, such as a hard disk drive. In one embodiment, a flexible dynamic loop comprises a flexible structure having a set of wire traces. The flexible dynamic loop may also comprise a set of impedance control structures on the flexible structure and perpendicular to a bend radius of the flexible structure, wherein the set of impedance control structures change an impedance level experienced by at least some of the set of wire traces. Some of the impedance control structures may be staggered. The flexible dynamic loop may also include a cover layer formed over the set of impedance control structures, which may be patterned with perforations. The flexible dynamic loop may also include one or more flexible rails connecting some of the impedance control structures.

    Abstract: Apparatus and method for generating supply voltages in a data storage device. In some embodiments, the apparatus includes a data transducer adjacent a rotatable magnetic recording medium, the data transducer having a write coil and an electromagnetic source for thermally assisted recording by the write coil. A preamplifier/driver circuit (preamp) has a write driver adapted to supply write currents to the write coil and a source driver adapted to supply source voltage to the electromagnetic source. A voltage regulation circuit applies a first positive supply voltage to the write driver and a different, second positive supply voltage to the source driver.

    Abstract: A data storage apparatus includes a controller capable of being coupled to a read/write head. The controller is configured to receive a fault signal from a sensor of the read/write head. The sensor indicates whether an energy source used to heat the recording medium is malfunctioning during a write operation. In response to the fault signal, the controller takes remedial action to protect the data associated with the write operation.
