Abstract

See full text

A circuit system and process utilizes back electromotive force (BEMF) voltage to assist in safe power down of devices, such as the read/write head in from low factor disk drives or similar devices. The BEMF voltage from a motor device, such as a spindle motor utilized in a circuit using negative voltage to drive some switches, such as positive channel metal oxide semiconductor (“PMOS”) driver transistors, to reduce and/or effectively minimize the on-resistance of the switches while delivering the current from BEMF voltage of the motor to another device, such as a motor that retracts controls a read/write head.
