AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, when a driving voltage is applied to the STO, the STO may generate heat to cause a slight protrusion of the element
As for the protrusion, it is difficult to detect and measure the protrusion amount due to its minuteness, and it is difficult to perform high-precision correction of the protrusion amount.
For this reason, when the protrusion of the element due to STO driving is more than expected, there is a problem that the life of the element is greatly deteriorated due to contact with the abnormal protrusion of the recording medium.

no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0023] figure 1 is a block diagram schematically showing a hard disk drive (HDD) as the magnetic disk device of the first embodiment, figure 2 It is a side view showing a magnetic head and a magnetic disk in a floating state, image 3 A cross-sectional view schematically showing a head portion of a magnetic head and a part of a magnetic disk by enlarging, Figure 4 It is a cross-sectional view schematically showing an enlarged recording head end portion of a magnetic head and a part of a magnetic disk, Figure 5 is a block diagram showing a control system for correcting the heater output value according to the STO voltage.

[0024] Such as figure 1 As shown, the HDD 10 includes a rectangular housing 11, a magnetic disk 12 as a recording medium disposed in the housing 11, a spindle motor 14 that supports the magnetic disk 12 so as to be rotatable, and writes and reads data to and from the magnetic disk 12. A plurality of magnetic heads 16 out. In addition, the HDD 10 incl...

no. 2 Embodiment approach

[0059] Figure 10 A flow chart for finding the heater correction amount more simply and with high accuracy is shown as the second embodiment. First, the STO voltage is set to cut-off state (step S31), according to the heater power value setting table 302, the setting of the heater power value during recording work and the condition conversion ratio of normal operation are set to be low (Pw -tmp) (step S32), set the heater ratio according to the heater ratio setting table 305 (step S33), and measure the track average amplitude (Track Average Amplifier: hereinafter referred to as TAA) TAA-0 of the reference data (step S34). Then, by setting the polarity of the STO voltage in a direction opposite to the direction in which the element oscillates, a state under the influence of heat generated by the pure STO voltage is simulated (step S35 ). Next, the STO voltage is controlled to be (Vb-n=i) (step S36), and the heater power during the recording operation is controlled to be (Pw-tm...

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention can suppress the protrusion of an element caused by the driving of a spin torque oscillating element at the time of recording to the magnetic disk. According to one embodiment, a magnetic disk drive records and reproduces referential data and measures a referential characteristic value in a state in which supply of a STO voltage is stopped, executes control ofreducing a temperature set value of a heater at a recording operation, based on the referential characteristic value, records and reproduces corrected data and measures a corrected characteristic value in a state of supplying the STO voltage with a polarity opposite to a polarity at a general operation, while varying the temperature set value at a recording operation, compares the referential characteristic value with the corrected characteristic value and obtaining a difference, and corrects the reduced amount of the temperature set value based on the difference.

Description

[0001] This application enjoys the priority of Japanese Patent Application No. 2017-164470 (filing date: August 29, 2017) as the basic application. This application incorporates the entire content of the basic application by referring to this basic application. technical field [0002] Embodiments of the present invention relate to a magnetic disk device using a perpendicular magnetic recording head and a method of driving the recording head. Background technique [0003] In recent years, a perpendicular magnetic recording method has been adopted for magnetic disk devices in order to achieve higher recording density, larger capacity, or smaller size. In the magnetic disk device based on this method, the recording head for perpendicular magnetic recording is made to face the recording surface of a magnetic disk having a recording layer for perpendicular magnetic recording, and a vertical pattern corresponding to the recording data is generated in a predetermined area of ​​the...
