Description
開示されている実施形態は、磁気記録媒体と相互作用するように構成されたヘッドトランスデューサと、抵抗温度係数(temperature coefficient of resistance: TCR)を有し、第1のセンサ信号を生成するように構成された第1のセンサと、TCRを有し、第2のセンサ信号を生成するように構成された第2のセンサとを含む装置に向けられている。第1および第2のセンサのうちの一方は、磁気記録媒体に対するヘッドトランスデューサの接近点またはその付近に位置し、第1および第2のセンサのうちの他方は、接近点から間隔が空けられる。回路は、第1および第2のセンサ信号を結合するとともに、ヘッドと媒体との間隔の変化およびヘッドと媒体との接触の一方または両方を示す結合センサ信号を生成するように構成される。第1のセンサは、正のTCRおよび負のTCRのうちの一方を含み得て、第2のセンサは、正のTCRおよび負のTCRのうちの他方を含み得る。
一般に、データ記憶システムは、記録媒体に対する読み取りと書き込みとを行う1つ以上の記録ヘッドを含む。多くの場合、記録ヘッドとその関連する媒体との間の距離または間隔は、比較的小さくすることが望ましい。この距離または間隔は、「飛行高さ」または「ヘッドと媒体との間隔(head-media spacing)」として知られる。ヘッドと媒体との間隔を減らすことによって、記録ヘッドは、典型的に媒体へのデータの書き込みおよび媒体からのデータ読み取りの両方が良好に行えるようになる。ヘッドと媒体との間隔を減らすことによって、記録媒体の表面の凹凸および他の特徴の検知など、記録媒体のトポグラフィの検査をすることもできる。
ここで、αiはTCRセンサR1(105)の抵抗温度係数であり、Ri,0はTCRセンサR1(105)の周囲温度における抵抗である。異なる符号のTCRを有するセンサ材料を選択し、これらを直列または並列に結合することにより、さらなる電気接続パッドを追加することなく接触検知信号を生成することができる。
ここで、ΔT1およびΔT 2 は、それぞれTCRセンサR1(105)およびR2(106)の温度変化であり、α1およびα2は、それぞれTCRセンサR1(105)およびR2(106)の抵抗温度係数であり、R1,0およびR2,0は、TCRセンサR1(105)およびR2(106)の周囲温度における抵抗である。
図11は、加熱器要素の電力Pheaterの関数とした、図10の回路500のポストAおよびBにわたる電圧Vを示す代表的な曲線510であり、接触が明瞭に示されている。80mV周辺から始まる電圧曲線510の突然の変化は、ヘッドと媒体との接触の開始を表わしている。
接触前の加熱器要素の電力レベルの全て、すなわち図13および図14に示される例示的な実施例において60mWよりも小さい加熱器要素の電力に関して、以下の式を満たすようにR1,0、α1、R2,0、およびα2の適切な組み合わせを選択することにより、接近点の付近における熱境界条件の変化によってもたらされる抵抗の変化を増幅することができる。
および
R1,0α1ΔT1+R2,0α2ΔT2=一定 (6)
上記の式(5)によって定められる条件は、高次項α1ΔT1α2ΔT2を省くことによって解くことができる。なぜなら、ほとんどの材料のTCRは、1よりもかなり小さいためである。
