Specific embodiments
Here disclosed the present invention of specific embodiments under the condition of disk groups of needn't packing into HSA, has realized common most final head test that uses the universal stage test.People know, if magnetic field is commonly used to simulate the magnetic variation data on recording disc, and (for example: sine) vertically act on HSA with suitable form, may pass through the mathematical analysis of simulated cushioned magnetic head voltage (BHV) output of head stack, the measurement of obtaining the output signal asymmetry.Therefore, the present invention can provide " good/bad " appraisal procedure of a kind of TAA of being similar to, but it does not need the disk groups of packing into HSA.
The present invention is divided into three major parts, simulates the electromagnetic activation structure of MR during (1) test and is used to optimize the necessary Electron Excitation circuit that requires performance; (2) method of optimization sample data collection, it comprises the necessary software of realizing collecting the MR output that applies influence of magnetic field; (3) method of the deal with data of the effective output that from some attribute test of relevant magnetic head performance, produces.(1) electromagnetic activation structure Fig. 1 is the skeleton view that is designed to test down the calutron 10 when encouraging HSA.Calutron 10 includes the magnetic core 12 of air gap 13, a plurality of coils 14 that link to each other with power supply 16, and in certain embodiments, calutron 10 can be the structure type of " square C ".Because its simple in structure, well-known electromagnetic property, such structure is that we wish.Yet other electromagnetic structure that can produce magnetic field in air gap is in this scope of invention.
In the practice, power supply 16 produces electric current in coil 14, and this electric current produces the magnetic flux by magnetic core 12 and air gap 13 successively.The manufacturer inserts HSA in space 13, simulate magnetic recording element with this magnetic field.
The calutron 10 of embodiment that Fig. 1 describes comprises: (1) size A, highly added a little allow clearance and determined by the HSA of test; (2) the long-pending B of pole surface, design provides the non-relatively distortion magnetic line of force of two interpolars enough large tracts of land, makes the action part of placing HAS under the test in the straight magnetic field line post easily, and area B also is used for setting up the maximum secting area of HSA device; (3) size C, decided by following difference between the two: (i) air gap line of force that coil is produced directly influences minimum maximum length, (ii) reduce total magnetic resistance, minimum length, therefore improved efficient; (4) dimension D, decided by following difference between the two: (i) offer the maximum length of size E, enough length (ii) reduces the minimum length of the total magnetic resistance of structure to avoid magnetic line of force distortion between the area B.
The hope material of magnetic core 12 should have following properties: (1) high osmosis and high saturation are used for efficient and suitable magnetic flux carrying capacity; (2) high resistance, the eddy current losses when being used for minimizing the AC mode driving; (3) low remanent magnetism when HSA inserts or withdraws from test position, makes the HAS component exposed give the magnetic field part minimum between pole surface.A kind of suitable material is the polycrystalline ferrite with high osmosis and low remanent magnetism.This material is why welcome be because its satisfy above standard, aboundresources, relatively cheap.Yet other electromagnetic material is within the scope of the invention.
In certain embodiments, 600Hz sinusoidal signal excitation electromagnetic structure-10 by power supply-16 generation, adopt sinusoidal signal to be because when magnetic head by medium on during changes of magnetic field, the magnetic flux density that sinusoidal signal can the emulation magnetic head be seen, and can obtain the dynamic response of testing magnetic head.Adopting the 600Hz frequency is because of its compatible 60Hz and 50Hz signal source, and higher frequency is beneficial to elimination direct current ground unrest/influence.Yet, also be in the scope of this embodiment such as other waveforms such as square wave, triangular wave and other frequency.
Number of turn N around the coil of electromagnetic structure-10 is arbitrarily.Yet, one skilled in the art will appreciate that Amp and select to have the gap A of requirement relevant with the number of turn of the power supply 16 of requirement.Increase turn number N and will increase the magnetic field intensity that particular power source 16 produces.Similarly, reduce turn number N and will weaken the magnetic field intensity that particular power source 16 produces.
The field intensity peak value is controlled by the voltage V of power supply-16 generation that is inversely proportional to coil-16 resistance P-p, as shown in Figure 1, in an embodiment, can make necessary driving voltage minimum by the resonant excitation device-22 of connecting.The electromagnetic structure-10 that this driver-22 allows to be energized produces high field intensity on given voltage.Some key advantage of these motivational techniques is: (1) excitation power supply size and weight minimum; (2) can use non--conventional penultimate amplifier; (3) radiation and Conducted Electromagnetic Interference minimum are disturbed minimum near responsive electronic installation.
This series resonance driver-22 usefulness one capacitor-18 comes the inductance of compensating coil-14 and magnetic core-12, and the selection of capacitor C should be satisfied the circuit resonance operation.Just power supply-16, electric capacity-18, coil-14, magnetic core-12 constitute a rlc circuit.If satisfy: C=1/L ω 2, then circuit starting of oscillation, L is the inductance of coil/magnetic core member here, ω is the frequency of power supply-16.Under such capacitance condition, the capacitive reactance of capacitor-18 is the inductance of bucking coil/magnetic core member, and it makes the impedance minimum of electromagnetic structure-10.
Again with reference to embodiment illustrated in fig. 1, the magnetic field intensity by space-13 can change with the upright position.When near the electromagnetic structure vertical centre, owing to such effect appears in the magnetic line of force loss that increases.In order to compensate this influence, some embodiment can be in conjunction with a controller-20, and according to which magnetic head among the current HAS just tested, controller 20 is controlled the voltage that power supplys 16 produce.Some controller-20 can be the feedback assembly of the analog or digital control algolithm of realization standard.Yet, can adjust and keep power supply 16 P-to-P voltage other the device also in this scope of invention.
Certain embodiments of the invention use collimation technique to determine suitable peak-to-peak voltage.These embodiment can use an autonomous device to measure the output of each magnetic field, position, space-13 or witness mark HAS assembly.The data of this calibration process can be offered controller-20 and be used to adjust power supply-16 voltage according to the magnetic head element position.In other words, utilize computing machine or similar device to calculate suitable correction factor, no matter the upright position of the magnetic head among the HAS how, guarantees that the vertical component of the horizontal center of magnetic field jaw (magnetic jaws) is approximately constant.
One skilled in the art will appreciate that the peak-to-peak intensity in magnetic field is the function of ac-excited peak-to-peak voltage.Therefore, the magnetic field intensity of the device of testing at this embodiment will be followed the sinusoidal voltage waveform that AC power 16 produces, and be proportional to the voltage that is added to coil-14.Because each specific magnetic head design all has the most responsive certain bias current point, certain embodiments of the invention can be adjusted the power supply peak-to-peak voltage when using controller-20 test specific device.This bias current particular value depends on certain products magnetic head or the design of manufacturer's magnetic head structure.(2) data sampling and collection
Fig. 2 has represented a suitable data sampling and collection algorithm, and at square 50, the HSA that the operator places test is between the surperficial B of electromagnetic structure-10 in the space.At square 52, the operator starts power supply-16, produces magnetic field in the space between the surface, and embodiment of the invention induced field as shown in Figure 3.
Square 56 among Fig. 2, the manufacturer can use carry out n sampling (Fig. 2 is a time tag along X-axis) with computing machine simulated cushioned magnetic head voltage (BHV) output to each magnetic head among the test HAS in one-period that A/D converter links to each other with data storage device.The big data and curves of n value is more level and smooth, but requires more time and computer resource execution analysis work.The BHV that also can in m cycle, sample among some embodiment output.At square 58, BHV output sampled value is stored in the embodied on computer readable memory device with m * n matrix form.At square 60, each row of n row in the matrix are averaged, produce a data array of representing single average period.Numerical value in this average data array of the embodiment of the invention is shown in Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 curve.
Certain embodiments of the invention can comprise a selectivity time delay 56 li of squares.In some cases, this time will allow total system to determine to provide the degree of acceptable measuring accuracy and repeatability.Decision parts required time is inversely proportional to the desired field intensity of excitation MR device usually and produces acceptable, analyzable BHV exports desired precision.Certain embodiments of the invention also will be controlled the frequency of sampling and phase place and guarantee that each n dimension group in the data matrix represents the actual cycle.Embodiment also will use hardware with magnetic field specified point synchrodata group starting point or use the software adjustment and the data of categorised collection in the cycle.In unsettled provisional application 09/120,995, Feb.19,2000 (current application number 09/505,033, Feb.16,2000) are entitled as " analyzing the nonequilibrium method and apparatus of motor ", have described a kind of suitable method in conjunction with reference example.Other method that can guarantee the data matrix of the actual HSA output of accurately expression also is possible and is in this scope of invention.(3) distortion measurement
With reference to figure 2, average output data array is duplicated into the t time keeping of second in square 62, do the fast Fourier transform (FFT) analysis by the CPU (central processing unit) of computing machine again.This analyzes and produces fundamental frequency signal and several harmonic signal performance number (decibel or dB).At square 64,, FFT harmonic data whole or that select calculates the % distortion value by being compared with the FFT data that are used for fundamental frequency signal.Use a large amount of formula to carry out this task.Yet simple relatively formula is welcome, such as with the simple function of the harmonic wave of the low order that elects, geometric function, gaussian weighing function etc.The example of intermediate means time domain waveform as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5.They have represented that respectively the % distortion is 27.48 and 4.96 two kinds of situation data and curves.At square 66, accept or refuse HSA with this % distortion value.
The embodiment of the invention utilizes the FFTW subroutine library to carry out discrete Fourier transform (DFT) by computing machine.This subroutine library makes with the C programming language in Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and under the general public permissive condition of GNU, visit http://theory.Lcs.mit.edu/~fftw/ gets final product.Yet, one skilled in the art will appreciate that other discrete Fourier transform (DFT) algorithm is widely available and has potential application.
Fig. 6 shows is relation between the TAA absolute value measured of the % distortion that calculated by the embodiment of the invention and traditional universal stage.Find out that from general trend it is extraordinary adopting different measuring system effects.Suppose that absolute TAA measures<the~15%, good magnetic head, the % distortion<~10% also be magnetic head, importantly great majority are that good magnetic head also has been a magnetic head with the measurement of % distortion methods with measurements of universal stage TAA method.Similar with it, to be bad magnetic head measure with the % distortion methods with the measurement of universal stage method also is bad magnetic head.Do not need the HSA disk groups of packing into just can be finished the measurement of " qualified/defective ", (TAK) lacked 60-70% than the universal stage method time test period as a result.
The present invention is also welcome because detecting the edge magnetic head, and the universal stage rule can not.These characteristics are welcome to be because the manufacturer can be used for the quality control purpose to statistics.These characteristics are welcome also because the manufacturer can handle these driver classification.In other words, the manufacturer is used for the high-performance driver with the magnetic head of better performance, and relatively poor magnetic head is used for the low performance driver.Can help the manufacturer to reduce waste like this.
Some embodiment also can measure the phase differential between the synthetic electric signal of pumping signal and magnetic head.These embodiment are feasible because by the magnetic head of Electrostatic Discharge or inappropriate process control damage demonstrate with magnetic head require density different phase place.Especially GMR magnetic head.Do not recognize as yet that so far the universal stage method can diagnose this major issue.Other embodiment still can analyze the correlation intensity of various synthetic harmonic signals, to detect the ESD damage.
The invention provides many advantages that exceed known HSA method of testing and device.For example the present invention includes the method for assessment MR and GMR magnetic head element performance, the result compares with universal stage TAA measuring method, does not need the universal stage tester and pack operation on the HSA level.Other advantage of the present invention is to use sinusoidal magnetic strength curve, does not use stepping DC source of energization (ordinary representation " quasi static test ") and do not resemble the non-used exciting field of test of packing into of traditional HSA.The quasi dynamic test quasi static test more used than prior art more approaches the practical operation condition of HSA.
Although the present invention has been done detailed description above,, still can implement in other specific forms not breaking away under essence spirit of the present invention and the characteristic condition according to some embodiment.For example, although in this application that openly focuses on inventing, so that check MR and GMR magnetic head element at the HAS assembling stage, very clear, will allow described method to be applied in the lower-order section of slider, magnetic head balanced component (HGA) and other device assembly equivalently to some little modifications such as workholder, control electronic technology, connection, analysis software.The image data that these are used to analyze among the embodiment will be sampled from the output of the electron device that is connected to contact, lead, rubber-insulated wire.In addition, although this disclosed embodiment general using is programmable, the general purpose computing machine that is connected to analog to digital converter and data storage device, the present invention also can be realized by other hardware.Especially some big producer may wish with the specialized equipment replacement computer.
Above with accompanying drawing and character rendering the embodiment of the invention and characteristics and device, the device of fixing, install, paste or be connected to form a machine integral body about device of the present invention, unless specific (special) requirements is arranged, otherwise this device means and comprises traditional retaining element, such as machine screw, nut, web member, packing ring, anchor clamps, rivet, toggle, pin or the like.If allow, methods such as assembly also can be fixed with welding, friction, adhesion, distortion connect.Be electrically connected with the location-sensitive device and can form, comprise traditional parts and web member with suitable electron device and method of attachment.Unless specific (special) requirements is arranged, element manufacturing material of the present invention can be selected suitable material, such as metal, metal alloy, fiber, plastics or the like, and suitable production and processing method, such as methods such as casting, mold pressing, machine works.Anyly be intended to be convenient to describe, be not confined to the present invention or its parts to arbitrary position or direction in space with reference to all around, top and bottom, upper and lower.Therefore, embodiment described here explains and has considered all aspects, does not add any restriction, can determine scope of the present invention with reference to additional claim.
