FEATURES
3
• Designed for 4 (TDA5153BG) or 6 dual-stripe
MR-read/inductive write heads
• Single supply voltage (5.0 V ±10%); a separate write
drivers supply pin can be biased from VCC to 8 V +10%
• MR elements connected to ground (GND)
• Equal bias currents in the two MR stripes of each head
• On-chip AC couplings eliminate MR head DC offset
• 3-wire serial interface for programming
The IC incorporates read amplifiers, write amplifiers, serial
interface, digital-to-analog converters, reference and
control circuits which operate on a single supply voltage of
5 V ±10%. The output drivers have a separate supply
voltage pin which can be connected to a higher supply
voltage of up to 8 V +10%. The complementary output
stages of the write amplifier allow writing with near
rail-to-rail peak voltages across the inductive write head.
• Programmable high-frequency zero-pole gain boost
• Programmable write driver compensation capacitance
• Programmable MR bias currents and write currents
• 1-bit programmable read gain
• Sleep, standby, active and test modes available
• Measurement of head resistances in test mode
• In test mode, one MR bias current may be forced to a
minimum current
The read amplifier has a low input impedance. The DC
offset between the two stripes of the MR head is eliminated
using on-chip AC coupling. 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 more. Series
inductance in the leads between the amplifier and MR
heads influences the bandwidth which can be
compensated by using a programmable high-frequency
gain-boost (HF zero). HF noise and bandwidth can be
attenuated using a programmable high-frequency
gain-attenuator (HF pole).
• Short write current rise and fall times with near rail-to-rail
voltage swing
• Head unsafe pin for signalling of abnormal conditions
and behaviour
• Low supply voltage write-current inhibit (active or
inactive)
• Supports servo writing
• Provides temperature monitor
• Thermal asperity detection with programmable
threshold level
On-chip digital-to-analog converters for MR bias currents
and write currents 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 operational.
Figure 1 shows the block diagram of the device.
• Requires only one external resistor.
APPLICATIONS
• Hard Disk Drive (HDD).

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 5.0 V pre-amplifier for HDD described here is
designed for five terminals, dual stripe Magneto-Resistive
(MR)-read/inductive-write heads. The disks of the disk
drive are connected to ground. To avoid voltage
break-through between the heads and the disk, the MR
elements of the heads are also connected to ground. The
symmetry of the dual-stripe head-amplifier combination
automatically distinguishes between the differential
signals such as signals and the common-mode effects like
interference. The latter are rejected by the amplifier.
• Current bias-current sense architecture

read, sleep and standby modes. In write mode, a
programmable current is forced through the selected two
terminals inductive write head. The push-pull output
drivers yield near rail-to-rail voltage swing for fast current
polarity switching.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Read mode
The read mode disables the write circuitry to save power
while reading. The read circuitry is de-activated for write,
sleep and standby modes. The read circuitry may also be
biased during write mode to shorten transients.
The selected head is connected to a multiplexed low-noise
read amplifier. The read amplifier has low-impedance
inputs nRx and nRy (n is the number of the head) and
low-impedance outputs RDx and RDy. The signal polarity
is non-inverting from x and y inputs to x and y outputs.
The differential write data input WDIx − WDIy is PECL
(Positive Emitter Coupled Logic) compatible. The write
data flip-flop can either be used or passed-by. In the case
that the write data flip-flop is used, current polarity is
toggled at the falling edges of the Vdata = VWDIx − VWDIy.
Switching to Write Mode initializes the data flip-flop so that
the write current flows in the write head from x to y. In the
case that the write data flip-flop is not used, the signal
polarity is non-inverting from x and y inputs to x and y
outputs.
Ambient magnetic fields at the MR elements result in a
relative change in MR resistance
∆R MR
---------------R MR
The write current magnitude is controlled through on-chip
DACs. The write current is defined as follows:
10 kΩ
I WR = ---------------- ( 20 + 16 ⋅ d4 + 8 ⋅ d3 + 4 ⋅ d2 + 2 ⋅ d1 + d0 )
R ext
This change produces a current variation
∆R MR
∆I MR = I MR × ---------------- ,
R MR
(in mA) where d4 to d0 are bits (either logic 0 or logic 1).
The adjustable range of the write current is 20 mA to
51 mA. At power-up, the default values
d4 = d3 = d2 = d1 = d0 = logic 0 are initialized,
corresponding to IWR = 20 mA. IWR is the current provided
by the write drivers: the current in the write coil and in the
damping resistor together. The static current in the write
coil is
I WR
----------------- ,
R
1 + ------hRd
where IMR is the bias current in the MR element.
The current variation is amplified to form the read data
output signal voltage, which is available at RDx − RDy.
AC coupling between MR elements and amplifier stages
prevents the amplifier input stages from overload by DC
voltages across the MR elements. A fast settling
procedure shortens DC settling transients.
An on-chip generated stable temperature reference
voltage (1.32 V), available at the Rext pin, is dropped
across an external resistor (10 kΩ) to form a global
reference current for the write and the MR bias currents.
The MR bias current DACs are programmed through the
serial interface according to the following formula
10 kΩ
I MR = ------------------- ( 10 + 16 ⋅ d4 + 8 ⋅ d3 + 4 ⋅ d2 + 2 ⋅ d1 + d0 )
2 ⋅ R ext
where Rh is the resistance of the coil including leads and
Rd is the damping resistor.
8.3
Write mode
To minimize power dissipation, the read circuitry may be
disabled in write mode. The write circuitry is disabled in
1997 Jul 02
Sleep mode
In sleep mode, the device is accessible via the serial
interface. All circuits are inactive, except the circuits 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 RDx − RDy (required when operating
with more than one amplifier). Typical static current
consumption is −30 µA. 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.
(in mA), where d4 to d0 are bits (either logic 0 or logic 1).
At power-up, all bits are set to logic 0, which results in a
default MR current of 5 mA. The adjustable range of the
MR currents is 5 mA to 20.5 mA. The MR bias currents are
equal for the two stripes of each head. The gain amplifier
is 1-bit programmable. The amplifier gain can be set to its
nominal value or to the nominal value +3 dB.

Standby mode
Active mode
Active mode is either read mode or write mode depending
on the R/W pin.
8.6
If bit a0 = logic 0, a programming sequence starts.
If bit a0 = logic 1, reading data from the pre-amplifier can
start.
Bi-directional serial interface
The serial interface is used for programming of the device
and for reading of status information. 16 bits (8 bits for
data and 8 for address) are used to program the device.
The serial interface requires 3 pins: SDATA, SCLK and
SEN. These pins (and R/W) are CMOS inputs. The logic
input R/W has an internal 20 kΩ pull-up resistor and the
SEN logic input has an internal 20 kΩ pull-down resistor.
Thus, in case the SEN line is opened, no data will be
registered and in case the R/W line is opened, the device
will never be in write mode.
8.8
Programming data
If a0 = logic 0, the last eight bits d7 to d0 before SEN goes
LOW are shifted into an input register. Bits d6 and d7 are
don’t care. When SEN goes LOW, the communication
sequence is ended and the data in the input register is
copied in parallel to the data register that corresponds to
the decoded address a7 to a4. SEN should go LOW at
least 5 ns after the last rising edge of SCLK.
8.9
SDATA: serial data; bi-directional data interface. In all
circumstances, the LSB is transmitted first.
Reading data
Immediately after the IC detects that a0 = logic 1, data
from the data register (address a7 to a4) is copied in
parallel to the input register. Two wait clock cycles must
follow before the controller can start inputting data. At the
first falling edge of SCLK after the 2 wait rising edges of
SCLK, 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 to a0) have been detected, the
communication is ignored.
SCLK: serial clock; 25 MHz clock frequency.
SEN: serial enable; data transfer takes place when SEN is
HIGH. When SEN is LOW, data and clock signals are
prohibited from entering the circuit.
Three phases in the communication are distinguishable:
addressing, programming and reading. Each
communication sequence starts with an addressing
phase, followed by either a programming phase or a
reading phase.
1997 Jul 02
Addressing
When SEN goes HIGH, bits are latched in at rising edges
of SCLK. The first eight bits a7 to a0, starting with a0, are
shifted serially into an address register. If SEN goes LOW
before 16 bits have been received, the operation is
ignored. When more than 16 bits (address and data) are
latched in before SEN goes LOW, the first 8 bits are
interpreted as an address and the last 8 bits as data.
SEN should go HIGH at least 5 ns before the first rising
edge of SCLK. Data should be valid at least 5 ns before
and after a rising edge of SCLK. The bits a7 to a4
constitute the register address.To validate the
communication with the preamplifier, bits a1, a2 and a3
have to be programmed as (1, 0, 0).
The circuit can be put in standby mode using the serial
interface. In standby mode, typical DC current
consumption is 330 µA. Transients from standby mode to
active mode are two orders of magnitude shorter than from
sleep mode to active mode. This is important in the case
of cylinder mode operation with multiple amplifiers.
All amplifiers can operate from standby mode and all head
switch times can be kept just as short as in the case of
operation with a single amplifier. Head switching times are
summarized in the switching characteristics.

8.10.1
If d1 = d0 = logic 1, the circuit goes in active mode, (read
or write mode depending on the R/W input).
Operation of the serial interface
CONFIGURATION
8.10.3
d0
By default (d0 = logic 0), write data passes from the
write data input via the data flip-flop to the write driver.
The write driver toggles the current in the head at the
falling edges of
V WDIx – V WDIy
V data = ------------------------------------2
When d0 = logic 1, the flip-flop is not used. The signal
polarity is non-inverting from WDIx and WDIy to Wx and
Wy.
8.10.4
SERVO WRITE
The circuit is prepared for servo writing. However, the chip
will not be guaranteed.
8.10.5
TEST
d2 = d1 = d0 = logic 0. The circuit is not in test mode. This
is the default situation.
By default (d1 = logic 0) the pre-amplifier senses PECL
write signals at WDIx and WDIy. d1 should remain
logic 0.
8.10.5.1
MR head test
d2 = logic 0, d1 = logic 0, d0 = logic 1. In read mode, the
voltages at Rx and Ry (at the top of the MR elements) of
the selected head are fed to RDx and RDy outputs. By
measuring the output voltages single-ended at two
different IMR currents, the MR resistance can be accurately
measured according to the following formula:
V RDx1 – V RDx2
R MRx = -------------------------------------- for the x side for instance.
I MRx1 – I MRx2
d2
By default, (d2 = logic 0) the write current is inhibited
under low supply voltage conditions. The write current
inhibit is made inactive by programming d2 to logic 1.
d3
By default (d3 = logic 0), in write mode low supply
voltage, open head, and other conditions are monitored
and flagged at HUS. If d3 = logic 1, HUS is LOW in write
mode and HIGH in read mode.
Open head and head short-circuited to ground conditions
can therefore be detected.
d4
d2 = logic 0, d1 = logic 1, d0 = logic 0. Same as before,
with the difference that IMR2 is fixed to a minimum constant
value of 5 mA. Measuring in the same way as above with
IMR1 > 5 mA, enables the detection of MR elements
connected together.
The amplifier read gain may be programmed in the
configuration register. By default (d4 = logic 0), the read
gain is typically 160 with RMR = 28 Ω. If d4 = logic 1, the
read amplifier typical gain is 3 dB higher (i.e. 226 if
RMR = 28 Ω).
d5
8.10.5.2
In order to minimize the write-to-read recovery times,
the first stage of the read amplifier may be kept biased
during write mode. By default, (d5 = logic 0) the read
amplifier is powered-down during write mode, and the
fast settling procedure is activated after write-to-read
switching. If d5 = logic 1 the read amplifier is kept biased
during write mode, and the fast settling procedure still
occurs if the head is changed or the MR current is
re-programmed.
Temperature monitor
d2 = logic 0, d1 = logic 1, d0 = logic 1. The temperature
monitor voltages are connected to RDx and RDy. The
output differential voltage depends on the temperature
according to: dV = – 0.00364 × T + 1.7 , 0 < T < 140 °C
The temperature may be measured with a typical precision
of 5 °C.
POWER CONTROL
By default d0 = d1 = logic 0, the pre-amplifier powers-up in
sleep mode. If d1 = logic 0, d0 = logic 1 or d1 = logic 1,
d0 = logic 0 the circuit goes in standby mode.
1997 Jul 02
HEAD SELECT
d2, d1 and d0 are used to select head H0 to H5 for the
6 channel version and to select head H1 to H4 for the
4 channel version.

TDA5153
attenuator provides a pole which limits the bandwidth and
reduces the high-frequency noise. The HF pole can be
used in combination with the HF zero in order to boost the
HF gain locally and yet limit the very high frequency noise
enhancement.
Thermal asperity detector
d2 = logic 1, d1 = don’t care, d0 = either logic or 1. Unlike
the above tests, the thermal asperity detection does not
use the RDx to RDy outputs. Thus, the reader is fully
operational. In case a thermal asperity is detected, it is
flagged at the HUS pin.
8.10.8
HIGH FREQUENCY GAIN BOOST REGISTER
The threshold voltage for the thermal asperity detection is
2-bit programmable. These 2 bits consist of d0 (LSB) of
the test mode register (address = 0XXX0110), as the
MSB, and b2 of the compensation register
(address = 0XXX0111).
V th = ( 210 + 560 ⋅ d0 + 280 ⋅ b2 ) µV ,
By default (d3 = d2 = d1 = d0 = logic 0), the high
frequency gain boost is not active. The gain boost provides
a zero which allows to optimize the bandwidth of the read
amplifier and to correct for attenuation caused by series
inductances in the leads between the MR-heads and the
read amplifier inputs.
where d0 is d0 of test mode register and b2 is d2 of
capacitor compensation register.
8.10.9
8.10.6
By default (d2 = d1 = d0 = logic 0) the settle pulse has a
nominal duration of 3 µs. Its value can be programmed
from 2.125 µs to 3 µs according to the following formula:
1
t st = 2 + -------------------------------------------------------------------------- µs
( 4 ⋅ d2 + 2 ⋅ d1 + 1 ⋅ d0 + 1 )
WRITE AMPLIFIER PROGRAMMABLE CAPACITORS
By default (d2 = d1 = d0 = logic 0) the programmable
capacitors are zero. These capacitors are used to improve
the performance of the write amplifier according to the
write amplifier output load.

Test mode: HUS is HIGH except when the TAS detector
is ON. If a thermal asperity is detected, HUS goes LOW.
Head unsafe
The HUS pin is an open-collector output. Consequently,
when the pin is not connected to an external pull-up
resistor, HUS is LOW. HUS pins can be connected
together in case of operation with more than one amplifier.
It is used to detect abnormal/unexpected operation.
Servo write mode: HUS is LOW
Write mode:
• if in the configuration register d3 = 1, HUS is LOW
• if in the configuration register d3 = 0, HUS goes HIGH
for: the write current may be inhibited if d1 = 0 in the
configuration register.
Sleep mode: HUS is HIGH, to permit working with more
than one amplifier.
Standby mode: HUS is HIGH, to permit working with
more than one amplifier.
– Rext pin open, short-circuited to ground or to VCC
(write current too low or too high)
Read mode:
– Write data input frequency too low (WDIx − WDIy)
• if in the configuration register d3 = 1, HUS is HIGH
– Write head Wx − Wy open, Wx or Wy short-circuited
to ground (switching to write mode makes HUS LOW;
after the transient the HUS detection circuitry is
activated; the target for the head-open detect time is
15 ns)
• if in the configuration register d3 = 0, HUS goes LOW
for:
– Rext pin open, short-circuited to ground or to VCC
(read current too low or too high)
– Write-head still left biased while not selected
– Low VCC and VCC(WD) conditions. A low supply
voltage detector is placed close to the VCC and
VCC(WD) pins.
– Low VCC and VCC(WD) conditions (write current inhibit
can be active or inactive).
The same detector is used for read and write mode. HUS
goes LOW again between 0.5 and 1 µs after the last
unsafe condition was detected.
Detection of low VCC (main general supply): a VCC supply
voltage below 4.0 V ±5% is flagged to the HUS pin.
The voltage detection range is then 4.2 to 3.8 V with an
hysteresis of 110 mV ±10%. Detection of low VCC(WD)
(writer dedicated supply): a fault will be flagged at HUS pin
if VCC(WD) drops 0.8 V ±10% below VCC. One must be
aware that such a detection is only aimed to warn for a
catastrophic situation. Indeed, VCC(WD) should never be
below VCC.

Notes
1. A supply by-pass capacitor from VCC to ground or a low-pass filter may be used to optimize the PSRR.
2. The supply voltage VCC(WD) must never be below VCC in normal mode, and two diode voltages above VCC in servo
mode.
3. The given values should be interpreted in such a way that the single-ended voltage could swing 0.2 to 0.75 V and
that the common mode voltage should be such that for any of the two states, VIH(max) < VCC and VIL(min) > 1.5 V.
PECL voltage swing: a wider peak-to-peak voltage swing can be used. In that case a current will flow through the
( WDIx – WDIy ) – 1.4
WDI inputs. This current is approximately equal to ----------------------------------------------------------200
4. The mismatch refers to the resistance of the two stripes of the same head. This is defined as follows:
∆RMR = RMR1 − RMR2
5. These parameters depend on the head model. The values given are those used for testing.
6. The combination of maximum head resistance, lead resistance and bias current is not permitted. To avoid voltage
break-through between heads and disk, the voltage over the MR elements is limited by two diodes.

1. The differential voltage gain depends on the MR
resistance. It can be improved by programming the
d4 bit in the configuration register using the serial
interface.
2. The gain boost implements a pole-zero combination:
The +3 dB gain boost corner frequency is
800 MHz
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------( 8 ⋅ d3 + 4 ⋅ d2 + 2 ⋅ d1 + 1 ⋅ d0 )
The −3 dB gain attenuation corner frequency is
800 MHz
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------( 8 ⋅ d3 + 4 ⋅ d2 + 2 ⋅ d1 + 1 ⋅ d0 )
where d3, d2, d1, d0 are bits (0, 1) to be programmed
via the Serial Interface. In practical use, the bandwidth
is limited by the inductance of the connection between
the MR heads and the pre-amplifier.
in 1 Hz bandwidth. Note that RMR includes all
resistances between Rx or Ry to ground.
b) Noise figure versus IMR and RMR: Table 1 shows
the variation of the noise figure with IMR (mA) and
RMR (Ω).
c) Input noise voltage consideration: the input
referred noise voltage calculation can significantly
be different (from 1.0 to 0.44 nV/√Hz for instance)
by taking into account an equivalent
signal-to-noise ratio when using two MR stripes
(28 Ω for each stripe) or one MR stripes (42 W).
It assumes that the signal coming from the head is
larger for a dual stripe head than for a single stripe
head (50% extra signal for dual stripe head).
3. Noise calculation
a) Definitions: The amplifier has a low-ohmic input.
No lead resistance is taken into account. The input
referred noise voltage, excluding the noise of the
MR resistors, is defined as follows:
 V no  2
2
V nir =  ---------  – 4kT × ( R MR1 + R MR2 ) V
 Gv 
4. The channel separation is defined by the ratio of the
gain response of the amplifier using the selected head
H(n) to the gain response of the amplifier using the
adjacent head H(n ±1), Head H(n) being selected.
where Gv is the voltage gain and Vno is the noise
voltage at the output of the amplifier, k is the

5.
8. The rise and fall times depend on the write
amplifier-write head combination. Lh and Rh represent
the components on the evaluation board. Parasitic
capacitances also limit the performance.
The PSRR (in dB) is defined as input referred ratio:
 Gv 
PSRR = 20 × log  ------- 
 Gp 
Where Gv is the differential input to differential output
gain, and Gp is the power supply to differential output
gain. The CMRR (in dB) is defined as input referred
 Gv 
ratio: CMRR = 20 × log  ----------- 
 G cm 
9. The write current rise/fall time asymmetry is defined by
tr – tf
----------------------2 ( tr + tf)
10. Write-to-read recovery time includes the write mode to
read mode switching using the R/W pin on the same
head (see Fig.6). The AC signal reaches its full
amplitude few tenth of ns after appearing at the reader
RDx and RDy outputs.
where Gv is the differential input to differential output
gain and Gcm is the common mode input to differential
output gain. Flex and board lay-out may affect
significantly these parameters.
11. In read mode, the head switching, standby to read
active switching and changing MR current include fast
current settling (see Fig.7). Same note regarding the
AC signals at the reader outputs as above.
6. This refers to the crosstalk from SCLK and SDATA
inputs via the read inputs to RDx − RDy. Two cases
can be distinguished:
a) With SEN LOW, SCLK and SDATA are prohibited
from entering the device and crosstalk is low.
12. Write settle time includes read mode to write mode
switching using the R/W pin.
b) Programming via the serial interface is done with
SEN HIGH. Then crosstalk can occur. A careful
design of the board or flex-foil is required in order
not to get crosstalk via this path.
13. The typical supply current in read mode depends on
the bias current for the MR element.
14. The typical supply current in write mode also depends
on the write current.
7. A 200 mV peak-to-peak signal is applied to SCLK or
SDATA inputs at 25 MHz, and measurement is
performed at RDx − RDy.

If wave soldering cannot be avoided, the following
conditions must be observed:
15 SOLDERING
15.1
Introduction
• A double-wave (a turbulent wave with high upward
pressure followed by a smooth laminar wave)
soldering technique should be used.
There is no soldering method that is ideal for all IC
packages. Wave soldering is often preferred when
through-hole and surface mounted components are mixed
on one printed-circuit board. However, wave soldering is
not always suitable for surface mounted ICs, or for
printed-circuits with high population densities. In these
situations reflow soldering is often used.
• The footprint must be at an angle of 45° to the board
direction and must incorporate solder thieves
downstream and at the side corners.
Even with these conditions, do not consider wave
soldering LQFP packages LQFP48 (SOT313-2),
LQFP64 (SOT314-2) or LQFP80 (SOT315-1).
This text gives a very brief insight to a complex technology.
A more in-depth account of soldering ICs can be found in
our “IC Package Databook” (order code 9398 652 90011).
15.2
During placement and before soldering, the package must
be fixed with a droplet of adhesive. The adhesive can be
applied by screen printing, pin transfer or syringe
dispensing. The package can be soldered after the
adhesive is cured.
Reflow soldering
Reflow soldering techniques are suitable for all LQFP
packages.
Maximum permissible solder temperature is 260 °C, and
maximum duration of package immersion in solder is
10 seconds, if cooled to less than 150 °C within
6 seconds. Typical dwell time is 4 seconds at 250 °C.
Reflow soldering requires solder paste (a suspension of
fine solder particles, flux and binding agent) to be applied
to the printed-circuit board by screen printing, stencilling or
pressure-syringe dispensing before package placement.
A mildly-activated flux will eliminate the need for removal
of corrosive residues in most applications.
Several techniques exist for reflowing; for example,
thermal conduction by heated belt. Dwell times vary
between 50 and 300 seconds depending on heating
method. Typical reflow temperatures range from
215 to 250 °C.
15.4
Wave soldering
Wave soldering is not recommended for LQFP packages.
This is because of the likelihood of solder bridging due to
closely-spaced leads and the possibility of incomplete
solder penetration in multi-lead devices.
1997 Jul 02
Repairing soldered joints
Fix the component by first soldering two diagonallyopposite end leads. Use only a low voltage soldering iron
(less than 24 V) applied to the flat part of the lead. Contact
time must be limited to 10 seconds at up to 300 °C. When
using a dedicated tool, all other leads can be soldered in
one operation within 2 to 5 seconds between
270 and 320 °C.
Preheating is necessary to dry the paste and evaporate
the binding agent. Preheating duration: 45 minutes at
45 °C.
