ABSTRACT:
A peak detector for extracting pulses in a magnetoresistive sensor circuit while suppressing the recovery transients created by thermal asperities. The disclosed peak detector circuit is a simplified variation of the standard magnetoresistive sensor peak detector circuit. The signal differentiation is performed ahead of the usual amplification to remove transient pulse amplitudes before they can affect the AGC gain. The resulting differentiated signal is processed by a modified amplitude qualification circuit to extract data output pulses. The thermal asperity transient recovery period is eliminated without additional circuit complexity, leaving only the initial thermal asperity pulse effects to be corrected by any suitable relatively simple error correction code (ECC).
