Abstract
Apparatus for improving data writing operations to a disc recording surface of a disc drive. A head assembly is supported over the disc recording surface by a flexible suspension assembly of a controllably positionable actuator assembly and includes a write current shaping circuit integrated with a write element. The write current shaping circuit modifies write currents received by the head assembly via a transmission line from a preamplifier driver circuit to remove undesired characteristics from the received write currents. The write element writes data to the disc recording surface using the write currents as modified by the write current shaping circuit.
