Abstract: A damping circuit having an input terminal and an output terminal is described. The damping circuit comprises a driver having an input and an output; an RC circuit coupled between the input terminal and the output; and a resistor coupled between the output and the output terminal, wherein the RC circuit delays passing a signal from the output terminal to the input terminal and a low impedance associated with the driver generally reduces ringing.

Abstract: A circuit for providing a write current having a programmably adjustable duty cycle in a hard disk drive write channel has a differential pair gain circuit for receiving a data input signal and generating a differential output voltage to provide a differential write signal for generating the write current. First and second programmable current sources are connected to the differential pair gain circuit to create a programmable voltage offset of the differential output voltage to programmably adjust the duty cycle of the write current.

Abstract: An apparatus for use with a sensor includes first and second signal treating circuit segments coupled with the sensor for presenting a substantially balanced differential signaling representation of output signals from the sensor. Each respective signal treating circuit segment comprises a plurality of circuit elements having different electrical symmetries coupled in parallel and establishing a plurality of parallel signal paths having asymmetric signal handling characteristics. A feedback circuit is coupled with the first and second signal treating circuit segments and provides feedback signals to selected circuit elements in each of the first and second signal treating circuit segments. The feedback signals effect substantially balanced signal handling among the selected circuit elements having similar electrical symmetries.
