Abstract
A device for setting a bias for a magneto-resistive (MR) head can include a counter configured to provide a count value that varies incrementally from a first count value to a maximum count value. Logic is configured to determine at least one of whether the bias for the MR head has reached a predetermined threshold and whether the counter has reached the maximum count value. The logic provides a bias output signal corresponding to the count value for setting the bias of the MR head according to the determination by the logic.
