Abstract

The MAMR head includes a main magnetic pole, a spin torque oscillator (STO) positioned above the main magnetic pole, and a write coil coupled to the main magnetic pole. The STO generates a high-frequency magnetic field on the magnetic medium. The controller is configured to provide a first bias current at a first bias current level to the STO and further provide a second bias current at a second bias current level to the STO. The controller is further configured to time the second bias current to coincide with a current overshoot within the write coil.

Description

[0001] Background of the invention [0002] The present disclosure relates to a spin torque oscillator (STO) in a magnetic field assisted recording (MAMR) head, wherein the spin torque oscillator is formed in a writing gap and a high frequency magnetic field is applied to a recording medium to reduce the coercivity of the medium force, and apply a recording field to the medium in this state to record data. One challenge with conventional MAMR heads is that current overshoot in the write coil coupled to the main pole raises the switching field threshold within the magnetic medium, resulting in insufficient MAMR assist gain for adequate record width and good write capability . Conventional pulse assist techniques in MAMR heads do not adequately address MAMR assist gain reduction associated with current overshoot in the write coil. [0003] Another challenge of conventional spin-torque oscillators is that the small size of STOs is associated with significantly higher bias heat be...
