Abstract

See full text

According to an embodiment, an envelope detector circuit for detecting an envelope of a signal from a sensor in a pre-amplifier circuit of a hard disk drive is provided. The circuit includes a half-wave rectifier, a low-pass filter, and a differential full-wave rectifier. The half-wave rectifier receives a differential voltage from the sensor indicating a fly height of the hard disk drive and generates a pair of single-ended output waveforms based on the differential voltage. Each pair of single-ended output waveforms has a positive polarity for a half-cycle it passes through. The low-pass filter includes a first and a second low-pass filter. The low-pass filter allows low-frequency signals from the pair of single-ended output waveforms to pass through while attenuating or blocking higher-frequency signals. The differential full-wave rectifier reconstructs a differential signal from the low-pass filter while removing DC rectified components.
