  • Systems and methods for sharing multiple lock-detect circuitries or multiple phase locked loop blocks
    Patent number: 10361708
    Abstract: Systems and methods related to phase-locked loops circuitry and lock-detect circuitry are provided. Some of the systems and methods allow sharing of lock-detect circuitries between multiple phase-locked loops or other suitable circuitry. Others allow multiple circuitries to select from multiple lock-detect circuitries that may use different lock-detect techniques.

  • CDM simulator for testing electrical devices
    Publication number: 20010056340
    Abstract: A CDM simulator for a magnetic recording head can be used for the in situ testing of such heads and also for electrical and/or magnetic characterization. The recording head is disposed in the simulator adjacent a discharge plate of an electrically conductive material with a dielectric layer disposed therebetween. The recording head is resistively coupled to a ground potential. A stored charge is injected into the discharge plate. When the charge is injected, a current transient similar to electrostatic discharge, is developed through the magnetic recording head.
