Pre-Amplifier for Hard Disk Drive with

TDA5360
DESCRIPTION
The +/- 5.0 volt pre-amplifier for HDD described here has been designed for 12 terminals, comprised of a SAL or GMR
magneto-resistive reader and an inductive thin film writer. In read mode, the device operates as a low noise differential
preamplifier which senses resistance changes in the MR element that correspond to flux changes on the disk. In write
mode, the circuit operates as a thin film head current switch, driving the inductive element of the head.
The IC incorporates Read amplifiers with programmable gain and HF boosts, Write amplifiers, 3-wires Serial Interface,
Digital-to-Analog Converters, Thermal Asperity Detector and Programmable Thermal Asperity Compressor, reference
and control circuits which operate on a Dual Supply Voltage of +/-5V (+/-10%).
The Read amplifier has programmable medium input impedance. The DC offset between the two terminals of the MR
head is eliminated using on chip AC coupling. The bandwidth can be enhanced by using programmable high frequency
gain-boost. Fast settling features are used to keep the transients short. As an option, the Read amplifier may be left
biased during writing, so as to reduce the duration of these transients even further.
The Write amplifier has a programmable current overshoot which may be added to the programmable steady state write
current.
Fault protection is provided for a variety of read or write unsafe conditions. For added data protection, internal pull up
resistors are connected to RWN, CS0, CS1, STWN, WDP and WDN pins and pull down resistors are connected to SEN,
SDATA, SCLK, DRN and BFAST pins, to prevent accidental writing due to open lines and to ensure the device will power
up in a non-writing condition.
On-chip Digital to Analog converters for MR bias current or power and Write current are programmed via a 3 wire Serial
Interface. Head selection, Mode control, Testing and Servo Writing can also be programmed using the serial interface.
In Sleep mode, the CMOS serial interface is operationnal. Fig 2 shows the block diagram of the IC. Invalid head select
codes disable the writer, select the dummy head and trigger the FLT output.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
9.1
Active READ mode
Taking RWN high and programming bits MODE0 and MODE1 (see Reg.09) selects the read mode.
The Head select inputs, in serial register, select the appropriate head.
In read mode, the circuit provides either a constant power bias or a constant current bias that flows from the P to the N
side of the MR section of the head.
The value of the current/power is programmed in Reg. 02 and is referenced by the external resistor, REXT, which is
connected between the REXT pin and GND. The reference voltage on REXT pin is stable over the entire operating
temperature range and process.
The current or power in the MR element is constant over temperature.
The resistance of the MR element, R
, changes in the presence of a magnetic field and causes a change in the MR
MR
head voltage. The circuit acts as a low-noise differential amplifier to sense this voltage change. The read amplifier
outputs, RDP and RDN, are in phase with the MRP and MRN head ports.
The read data at pins RDP, RDN can output either voltage or current, depending on how the RVORI bit in Reg.01 is set:
LOW or HIGH respectively.
The polarity convention for current mode is :
“positive” => pin with least current flowing
“negative” => pin with most current flowing
Write current is not present in read mode under any circumstances; either transient or steady state.
The read path includes the following programmable features :
Gain programmation (Reg. 02 and Reg. 03) :
- gain only,
- a combination of gain plus differentiator (therefore HF-gain-boost),
- differentiator only.
The gain is programmable with step of 3dB between 44dB and 50dB.
Input impedance :
With bits RIN1, RIN0 (Reg.01), the input impedance of the readpath can be programmed from 15 to 30Ω.
Low Pole Frequency :
Bits LFP (Reg.03) allow the programmation of the Low Pole Frequency from 1 to 4 MHz.
Thermal Asperity Detection and Compression :
Thermal Asperity Detector flags an error on FLT line when a thermal disturbance is detected and load the
appropriate error code in Reg. 07. The threshold is programmable via Reg. 05.
Thermal Asperity Compressor extracts the signal from the disturbance. Its thresholds levels and frequency
response are also programmable with Reg.11.

9.2
TDA5360
Active WRITE mode
Taking RWN low from an Active READ mode selects the Active WRITE mode. The head select inputs, in a serial register,
select the appropriate head.
In write mode the circuit acts as a current switch with write current toggled between the P and N directions of the thinfilm section of the selected head x. The signal polarity is noninverting from WDP, WDN to WPx, WNx.
The write data at pins WDP, WDN could be driven by either a voltage or a current, according to the WVORI bit in Reg.01
(set LOW or HIGH respectively.)
The polarity convention for current mode is :
“positive” => input pin with minimum current flowing
“negative” => input pin with maximum current flowing
The writer terminal voltages are driven to GND during read mode to avoid accidental discharges to the disc.
Note that the write mode CAN NOT be selected directly from a sleep or standby condition.
The steady state value of the write current is programmed in Reg. 04 and is referenced by the external resistor, REXT,
which is connected between the REXT pin and GND. The reference voltage on REXT pin is stable over the entire
operating temperature range and process.
Internal compensation networks are optimized and provided to control the write current shape and settling characteristics
based on specified head loads. The value can be programmed in Reg. 04.
9.3
Active STW mode
In Active Read or Active Write mode, only one head in one preamp is selected.
A special programmation of Reg. 09, using (STWN = LOW) AND (CS0 = CS1 = HIGH) allows the user to either :
- select one head per preamp (if several preamps are adressed at the same time)
- select one head in one preamp when in read mode but two heads in one preamp when going to write mode.
In that case Head x and Head (x+6) will be selected, with x=0...5. Head x is selected via Reg. 00
9.4
STANDBY mode
The standby mode is selected by programming bits MODE0 and MODE1. (see Reg.09)
The internal write current source, and MR bias current source are deactivated while RDP, RDN and FLT outputs are in
a high-impedance state so that they can be OR’d in multiple preamplifiers applications. The device is specially designed
for reduced dissipation in this mode. Response time from Standby to Active Read mode is much shorter than from Sleep
mode to Active Read. The CMM of RDP and RDN is the same as in Sleep or Active mode. (see Note 2)
Internal fault detectors are powered off.

9.5
TDA5360
SLEEP mode
The sleep mode is selected by programming bits MODE0 and MODE1. (see Reg.09)
In Sleep Mode, the IC is accessible via the Serial Interface. All circuits, other than those of the CMOS Serial Interface
and the circuit which forces the data registers to their default values at power up and which fixes the DC level of RDpRDn (required when operating with more than one amplifier), are inactive. Typical static current consumption is less than
one mA, depending on the state of the logic pins where internal pull-up or pull-down resistors are connected. Dynamic
current consumption during operation of the Serial Interface in the Sleep mode and owing to external activity at the inputs
to the Serial Interface is not included. In all Modes including the Sleep mode, data registers can be
programmed. Sleep is the default Mode at power-up. Switching to other modes takes less than 0.1 ms.
The CMM of RDP and RDN is the same as in Standby or Active mode. (see Note)
Internal fault detectors are powered off.
Note 1 : At power-up, as long as DRN pin is LOW, a reset of the Serial Interface registers occurs. Before any register
programmation, the user should first force DRN pin to HIGH in order to exit the reset mode and enable a register
programmation. See description of DRN function in (10.6).
Note 2 : As a goal, the CMM of RDP and RDN is identical in all operating modes. The term “high-impedance” here means
at least 10 to 20 kOhm from RDP or RDN to an internal CMM voltage reference.

10 BIASING OF THE MR ELEMENT
This preamplifier has been designed for SAL and GMR elements. Programming bit GMR in Reg. 01 select either a SAL
range (LOW) or a GMR range (HIGH).
By programming bit PORI in Reg. 01, the user can program either a constant current bias (LOW) or a constant power
bias (HIGH) for the MR element. The value of the current/power is programmed on 5 bits via Reg. 02.
If bit PORI in Reg. 01 is HIGH, a constant power bias is maintained accross the MR element.
The power is defined as :
2, where Pw is constant over temperature and process.
*I
MR MR
In power bias mode, two power ranges are possible :
Pw = R
For SAL heads
1.5mW to 9.25 mW
in steps of 0.25mW
For GMR heads
375uW to 2.3 mW
in steps of 0.0625mW
Note :
whatever Power programmation is used, the IMR current flowing into the MR element will be within the minmax range given below.
If bit PORI in Reg.01 is LOW, then the biasing scheme shall revert to constant current instead of constant power.
IMR is then constant over temperature and process.
In current bias mode, two current ranges are possible :
For SAL heads :
4 to 10.2 mA in steps of 0.2 mA
For GMR heads :
3 to 6.1 mA in steps of 0.1 mA
Note :
In GMR mode, IMR current is guaranted up to 5.1mA
6.1mA can be reached under certain supplies/Rmr conditions.
10.1
MR Head Resistance and Temperature Measurement
By programming RANGE0,RANGE1 bits in Reg. 08, the user can select either a Rmr measurement or a Temperature
measurement (junction temperature).
Setting DIGON bit HIGH launch a digitazation
The settling time of the digitization operation is less than TBD µs.
A 5 bit code is then available in Reg. 08, as long as DIGON stays HIGH,
Setting DIGON bit LOW, reset the 5 bit code.
In case of Rmr measurement, the user have access to two Rmr range by programming RANGE0 and RANGE1 bits.
In case of Temperature too high condition (T > 140oC), during a Temperature measurement, a Fault is triggered on FLT
line and a error code is available in Reg. 07.

Fault Mode
Fault conditions are indicated on the FLT pin (HIGH during write mode and LOW during read mode). The fault condition
is coded and stored in Reg. 07 for monitoring purposes. The fault code is cleared on power up, on system reset and on
writing to Reg.09
The FLT output is an open collector to an external resistor of 5Kohms connected to +5V.

The following are valid READ fault conditions which set FLT=LOW
• Rext pin open or shorted to GND or Vcc
• Thermal Asperity detected
• Read Head open
• Power supplies too low (VCC and/or VEE)
• Write current present in read mode
• Illegal head address ( i.e. head 12, 13, 14 or 15)
In this case, besides asserting the fault flag, the MR bias current is diverted to the dummy head.
The following are valid WRITE fault conditions which set FLT=HIGH. An action can eventually be taken :
FAULT
• No write current in write mode
ACTION
Disable write current
• Rext pin open or shorted to GND or Vcc
Disable write current
• Open write head or shorted to GND
Do not disable write current
• Write data frequency too low
Do not disable write current
• Power supplies too low
Disable write current
• lllegal head address (i.e. HD 12, 13, 14, 15)
Disable write current
If the write current is disabled, the writer is powered down. The only way to restart a write sequence is to switch R/W
high and then to switch R/W low again.
Trying to go in Write mode from a sleep or standby mode condition will disable the write current.
If two fault conditions occurs nearly at the same time, the first to occur will be loaded in Reg. 07.

Serial Interface Operations
The serial interface communication consists of an adress word of 8 bits followed by a data word of 8 bits. See section
11, page 24 and 25 for timing diagrams.
10.5.1 SERIAL ADDRESSING
When SEN goes HIGH, bits are latched-in at rising edges of SCLK. The first eight bits a7-a0 starting with the LSB, are
shifted serially into an address register.
If SEN goes LOW before 16 bits have been found, then the operation is ignored.
When STWn is HIGH; if a1 does not match CS0 or a2 does not match CS1, then the operation is ignored.
When STWn is LOW; if a1 and a2 are not HIGH, then the operation is ignored.
Bits a3 to a6 constitute the register address. Bit a7 is an unused one.
If
or if
(a0, a1, a2, STWn) = (0, CS0, CS1, 1)
(a0, a1, a2, STWn) = (0, 1, 1, 0)
then a PROGRAMMING sequence starts (see Reg. 09 description for details about preamp addressing)
If
or if
(a0, a1, a2, STWn) = (1, CS0, CS1, 1)
(a0, a1, a2, STWn) = (1, 1, 1, 0)
then READING data from the pre-amplifier can start. The data read back can be either 3.3V compatible or 5V
compatible depending on SIOLV bit in Reg. 09.
10.5.2 PROGRAMMING DATA
During a programming sequence, the last eight bits d0-d7, before SEN goes LOW, are shifted into an input register.
When SEN goes LOW, the communication sequence is ended and the data in the input register are copied in parallel to
the data register corresponding to the decoded address a6-a3. SEN should go LOW at least 5ns after the last rising
edge of SCLK.
10.5.3 READING DATA
Immediately after the IC detects a reading sequence, data from the data register (address a6-a3) are copied
in parallel to the input register. The LSB d0 is placed on SDATA line followed by d1 at the
next falling edge of SCLK, etc...
If SEN goes LOW before 8 address bits (a7-a0) have been detected, the communication is ignored. If SEN goes LOW
before the 8 data bits have been sent out of the IC, the reading sequence is immediately interrupted.
SEN must stay LOW at least 75ns between two adressings.
See Timing diagramms for Serial Adressing on section 11.
10.5.4 BROADCAST MODE
When A1=A2=1 and STWN=LOW, all the preamps will be adressed whatever their CS1/CS0 setup is.
This mode allows parallel programming of any register of the serial interface, and allows STW mode programming (See
Reg. 09 description).

Note 0 : MDS (Multiple Device Selected) detector :
When several preamps are connected in parallel, this function allows the user detection of wrong adressing
withing the preamps.
When SELT is high, the selected preamp pull a precise current on FLT pin. If only one preamp has reacted,
SELF is LOW. If more than one preamp has reacted, the voltage on FLT pin is lower than a reference voltage
and thus SELF is HIGH.
Note 1a : The Write path can be controled by either a voltage or a current input signal.
The signal polarity is non inverted from WDP - WDN input to WPx - WNx output
Voltage mode :
Current mode :
WDP-WDN > 0 => WPx-WNx > 0 (current flowing externally from WPx to WNx)
current has to be pulled from WDP and WDN pins.
The positive side for signal, is the one where the least current is pulled
The negative side for signal, is the one where the most current is pulled
most current pulled from WDN => current flowing externally from WPx to WNx)

Note 3 : For differentiator only (GAIN0 = GAIN1 = 1),
the midrange setting ( HFZ3 = 1, HFZ0 = HFZ1 = HFZ2 = 0 ) have a gain of 44dB at 100 Mhz.
i.e. gain (@100 Mhz)= 80 +10 * (HFZ0 + 2*HFZ1 + 4*HFZ2 + 8*HFZ3)
For gain plus differentiator (other GAIN0, GAIN1 programmation)
the midrange setting (HFZ3=1, HFZ0,1,2=0) create a zero at 300 Mhz independent of the gain bits.
HF Zero @ f = 2400 MHz / (HFZ0 +2*HFZ1 + 4*HFZ2 +8*HFZ3)
i.e. gain = 150 + 75 * ( GAIN0 + 2*GAIN1 - 5*GAIN0*GAIN1)
Note 4 : In order to increase performance for high data rate, 3 bits are available to tune the write current waveform.
WCP2 : this bit is used to add a capacitive boost during a transition of the write current.
WCP1,WCP0 : these bits are used to increase the internal swing on the write data signal.
when IW4 is HIGH ( Iwr > 30.8 mA), some capacitive compensation is also activated in the write driver.
Note 5 : The threshold range of the TAD can be shifted up by 50% by setting TRANGE HIGH.
In that case the steps are still 177uV,
but the range is shifted from ( 0.390mV-5.877mV ) to ( 3.560mV-9.047mV )
The relation between the threshold of the TAD programmed in Reg. 05 and the real threshold is a function of
the input impedance of the reader and the low corner frequency of the reader.

Formula to link real TAD threshold with LF pole of the reader and programmed input impedance :
0.85
Vth = Vthprog × ---------------------------------------------------------fLFP 2
1 +  ------------------------
 ( K × fTA )
K × ------------------------------------------fLFP 2
1 +  -------------
 fTA 
where :
fLFP is the low frequency pole of the read amplifer (1 to 4 MHz, programmable via Reg. 03)
fTA is the frequency of the principal harmonic of the TA signal.
and :
RINnom
K = ----------------------------------------RINnom + RMR
where :
RINnom is the input impedance of the reader in mid-band (programmable via Reg. 01)
For RINnom = 18Ω, RMR = 66Ω, fTA = 2MHz, Tj = 70oC, we have K = 0.214
and so,
Vth( fLFP = 1MHz) = Vthprog * 1.747
Vth( fLFP = 4MHz) = Vthprog * 0.945
Note 7: FAULT code protocol.
When a fault occurs, the FAULT pin is set LOW (if read mode) or HIGH (if write mode) and a 4 bits code is
available in Reg. 07 (See Section 10.2 for details).
The FAULT pin is flagged as long as the error remains present. When the error condition is removed, the
FAULT pin toggles to a non-error state, but the 4 bits code still remains present in Reg. 07
To Reset the FAULT code, the user should reprogramm Reg. 09.
Some fault detections can be inhibited via FLT2,1,0 bits. If an action is linked to the inhibited detection (for
example inhibiting the write current when a low power supply condition occurs), then the action is still taken,
but no fault code and no FAULT pin toggling occurs.
Note 8 : RMR and Temperature Digitizer
- RMR digitizer
This measurement can only be done in Read mode, with the head to be measured selected.
the Digitazation is launched when DIGON toggles from LOW to HIGH,
after a maximum of TBD us, a 5 bits code is available in Reg. 08.
The 5 bits code will only be reseted by DIGON toggling from HIGH to LOW.

signal is present at RDP-RDN output pins.
- (A2=A1=1 and STWN=0) is a broadcast mode condition, where all the preamps will treat the data arriving on
SDATA line.
- In order to get two write head selected, Head Hx should be programmed in Reg. 00 (x = 0 to 5). In that case

The aim of the TAC is to limit the amplitude and the duration of the perturbation seen at the reader output.
Because thermal asperity amplitude is not constant, the TAC need some threshold programmation to define
the sharpness of the response.
note that reducing the TAC threshold also impact the Low corner frequency value of the read amplifier.

Notes:
1. The differential peak to peak voltage swing could be from 0.4V to 1.5V and the common mode should be such that
for any of the two states the maximum High shall be less than Vcc and the minimum LOW shall be more than 2.4V.
2. In current mode, a ratio of at least 5 sould exist between the HIGH and LOW level currents.
3. Whatever constant power is programmed, the value of the Imr current can not exceed the limits given in the constant
current mode.
4. The input referred noise voltage, excluding the noise of the MR resistor iis defined as follows :

5. The noise figure is defined as :
NF[dB] = 10xlog[(Vnout/Av)2 / (4kTxRMR)]
where Av is the gain and Vnout is the noise voltage at the output of the amplifier
