Abstract
An apparatus, according to one embodiment, includes: a controller having: a first circuit having a reference resistance, a second circuit having an adjustable resistance, and logic integrated with and/or executable by the controller, the logic being configured to cause the controller to perform the following process: apply a voltage to the first and second circuits, compare output voltages of the first and second circuits, alter the resistance of the second circuit until the output voltage of the first circuit is less than or equal to the output voltage of the second circuit, extract setting information in response to determining that the first voltage of the first circuit is less than or equal to the second voltage of the second circuit, and apply the extracted setting information to a component of a write driver circuit for setting a resistance value of the component.
