PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
write mode (continued)
Actual head current (I

Where:
I
I(W)
is the write current in mA.
R

R
head
is the head resistance in

During read mode, TI recommends that WDX or WDY have a potential

100 mV. The differential voltage can be set to zero during the idle mode.

Taking CS, R/W, and BHV/IBON low activates the write mode with MR-head bias current on. In this mode, the
bias current on the MR head selected by HS0–HS2 (HS for TLS24302) is instrumental in performing fast
recovery-to-read mode.
servo write mode
Taking CS and R/W low and FLT/SE to
data is written to several heads. TI recommends that a pullup resistor of 4.7 k
be connected to FLT/SE to
ensure that the maximum allowable FLT/SE voltage is not exceeded during the servo mode when the applied
voltage is 12 V. In the servo mode, the same data is written to the selected heads as shown in Table 4 and
Table 5.

and/or write current must be set lower than normal writing mode to
prevent exceeding the power dissipation limit of the package. Continuous operations in the servo write mode
must be limited to 1 hour. Recommended operating room temperature is 25
