Publication number: 20110020669Abstract: A magnetic recording medium having excellent stability of recorded magnetic signals and capable of recording magnetic signals by a thermally assisted magnetic recording system in which a magnetic recording layer of the magnetic recording medium contains ferromagnetic crystal grains of a Co—Ni—Pt alloy with a Pt content of 44 at % or more and 55 at % or less and with an atom content ratio: Ni/(Co+Ni) of 0.64 or more and 0.8 or less. The magnetic recording medium has extremely excellent stability of recorded magnetic signals since the Co—Ni—Pt alloy constituting the magnetic recording layer has an extremely high anisotropy field at a normal temperature. Further, the magnetic recording medium can perform signal recording based on the thermally assisted magnetic recording system since the Co—Ni—Pt alloy constituting the magnetic recording layer has a Curie point within an appropriate temperature range.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 21, 2010Publication date: January 27, 2011Inventors: Junichi SAYAMA, Hiroaki Nemoto, Hiroshi Ide, Hiroyasu Kataoka, Nobuyukl Takahashi, Takehito Shimatsu, Osamu Kitakami, Satoshi Okamoto, Hajime Aoi

Patent number: 7643261Abstract: There is provided a semiconductor device capable of supplying an analog input signal higher than or equal to an operating power supply voltage. An electrostatic discharge protection circuit corresponding to the analog input signal is provided for an external terminal that is supplied with an analog input signal generated with a first power supply voltage. A voltage divider resistor divides the analog input signal passing through the electrostatic discharge protection circuit into a voltage corresponding to a second power supply voltage lower that the first power supply voltage. An input circuit operating on the second power supply voltage receives the analog input signal divided by the voltage divider resistor to form an internal analog signal. There are provided first and second unidirectional elements. The first unidirectional element passes current from the input circuit's input terminal to the second power supply voltage.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2006Date of Patent: January 5, 2010Assignee: Renesas Technology Corp.Inventors: Hiroshi Ide, Satoshi Fujita, Takehiko Umeyama

Patent number: 7636212Abstract: An output of a magnetic head changes depending on the environmental temperature of a magnetic disk. In particular, under cold temperature conditions, an output of the head largely decreases mainly due to an increase in coercivity of a magnetic recording medium, which degrades an error rate. In one embodiment of the invention, sense-current optimization processing of a magnetic disk drive comprises the steps of: measuring the environmental temperature; and after a sense-current value which is set from the viewpoint of the reliability of the magnetic head is defined as an upper limit, finding out a sense current Is that can achieve the best error rate (BER) at the temperature. While changing a value of the sense current Is inside the magnetic disk drive, an error rate is measured. Then, a sense current Is_opt at which the best error rate properties are achieved is selected as a new set value.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2005Date of Patent: December 22, 2009Assignee: Hitachi Global Storage Technologies Netherlands B.V.Inventors: Akira Morinaga, Hideki Zaitsu, Hiroshi Ide, Hideo Tanabe

Publication number: 20080192379Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a process that monitors a magnetic playback signal while gradually increasing an electricity supply amount for a heater to thereby determine contact between a magnetic head slider and a magnetic disk medium. According to one embodiment, after components for configuring a magnetic recording/playback portion are assembled into a housing, magnetic information is played back on a specific track of a magnetic disk medium by using a playback element while gradually increasing an electricity supply amount for a heater of a magnetic head slider. An amplitude of a playback signal is measured at a plurality of portions along a circumferential direction of the track. Contact between the magnetic head slider and the magnetic disk medium is detected in accordance with an increase in variation in the measured amplitude.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2008Publication date: August 14, 2008Inventors: Masayuki Kurita, Hideaki Tanaka, Noriaki Satoh, Toyomi Ohsawa, Toshiya Shiramatsu, Atsushi Yatagai, Satoshi Ohki, Hiroshi Ide, Hidekazu Kohira, Takehiko Hamaguchi

Patent number: 7330324Abstract: A write head's material having a great thermal expansion coefficient expands due to Joule heat resulting from a write current and a temperature rise dependent on high-frequency core loss, thereby causing the head's flying surface to protrude toward a magnetic disk. This phenomenon is called TPR (thermal protrusion). It is essential that the flying height be accurately determined and managed in consideration of TPR. A magnetic disk drive for actual use or a magnetic disk drive that is in a testing process but similar to the one for actual use is used to measure TPR amount changes resulting from a write operation, store the resulting measured data in a memory or on the magnetic disk, and perform flying height management with the stored measured data. Further, flying height management is performed as needed in conjunction with a SMART function. The present invention makes it possible to perform high-reliability flying height management.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2004Date of Patent: February 12, 2008Assignee: Hitachi Global Storage Technologies Netherlands B.V.Inventors: Akira Morinaga, Yoji Maruyama, Hiroshi Ide, Norifumi Miyamoto
