  • Suppressing phased motor voltage transients on disconnect
    Patent number: 7994747
    Abstract: A clamping circuit is included in a phased motor control circuit, particularly on an electrical connection connected to at least one electrostatic discharge cell and/or the driver control electronics of the phased motor control circuit. The clamping circuit triggers when a voltage that exceeds a clamping turn-on threshold occurs on the electrical connector, sourcing or sinking the discharge current so as to protect the electrostatic discharge cells and/or driver control electronics from destruction by said discharge current.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 13, 2007
    Date of Patent: August 9, 2011
    Assignee: Seagate Technology LLC
    Inventors: Brian Dean Boling, Michael Ernest Dickeson, Frank P. Domingo, Jr.
