Jumper constructions for an integrated lead flexure for a disk drive head suspension include a conductive base layer, an insulating layer over the base layer, a plurality of traces arranged on the insulating layer, and an isolated conductor layer arranged under the insulating layer. The plurality of traces include a first trace and a second trace and the isolated conductor layer is electrically isolated from the conductive base layer and electrically connects the first and second traces.

Trace jumpers for disc drive suspensions

An integrated lead flexure includes a base region and a gimbal extending from the base region and having a slider mounting region. A conductive assembly, which is configured to carry current between the slider mounting region and the base region, includes a current carrying structure electrically connected with a pattern of conductive lossy material. The pattern of conductive lossy material is configured to reduce a bandwidth of the current carrying structure.

Constant impedance and variable bandwidth traces for an integrated lead suspension

An integrated lead flexure for a disk drive head suspension, comprising two or more spaced-apart traces extending between terminal connector pads and head connector pads, wherein the spacing between the traces substantially continuously decreases along at least a portion of the length of the traces.

Integrated lead head suspension with tapered trace spacing

An integrated lead flexure for a disk drive head suspension of the type having a plurality of stacked leads disposed on separate layers, the plurality of stacked leads extending between terminal connector pads and head connector pads, comprising stacked lead pairs having opposing and regularly alternating wider and narrower portions, respectively.

Disk drive head suspension flexures having alternating width stacked leads

A magnetic flowmeter system provides a volumetric flow rate output and has a coil receiving a magnetic field producing coil current from the current supply circuitry. The current supply circuitry includes an H-bridge transistor circuit having first and second switches which couple one of the first and second coil wires to a supply conductor. Third and fourth switches of the bridge circuit couple the other of the first and second coil wires to a second supply conductor. A control circuit periodically alternates conduction of the first, second, third and fourth switches to reverse the polarity of the coil current. A coil current control circuit generates a non-alternating output representing the sensed alternating coil current amplitude. The control circuit modulates the conduction duty cycle of the third and fourth switches as a function of the non-alternating output to regulate the coil current amplitude to a selected level.

Bridge pulse controlled constant current driver for magnetic flowmeter

A current source for establishing a relatively constant current through widely differing impedances comprising a voltage potential regulator for adjustably regulating a supplied potential to provide a current to a current controller with a current sensor to supply a signal to the current controller, there being a signal supplied from the signal controller to control the voltage potential regulator. A further current rise time regulator is provided to increase the rise time occurrence provided to a commutated load.
