  • Fly height compensation using read gain control loop
    Patent number: 7508617
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are disclosed that regulate head fly height so as to compensate for variation in height of a disk surface. An exemplary apparatus includes a circuit that detects disk height variation in response to variation in the gain of a variable gain amplifier, within an automatic gain control loop, that amplifies a read signal as the head reads from the disk surface. The circuit regulates the head fly height so as to compensate for the detected variation in disk height.
