A data bus can supply power from a first power source to a sink device. The data bus is coupled to a second power source. An electrical current from the second power source supplements an electrical current on the data bus if the voltage on the data bus decreases to less than a threshold value.

Circuit for supplementing electrical current to a peripheral device

The disclosure is related to detecting an electrostatic charge at a data storage device. The electrostatic charge can be detected and a data integrity management process can be implemented. In a particular embodiment, a method includes monitoring an electronic device having a data storage medium for an electrostatic event. The method also includes selectively performing a data integrity management process on the data storage medium when the electrostatic event is detected.

Data integrity management responsive to an electrostatic event

The present invention provides a magnetic shield that would reduced the magnetic flux leakage from the base of the spindle motor to the printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) in a disc drive. The magnetic shield integrated in the disc drive as part of the spindle motor without increasing costs to assembly of the disc drive. The magnetic shield is made of layers of different materials to provide effective shielding. The magnetic shield is designed such that shielding effect is not affected during temperature changes in the disc drive.
