ISI Confidential ISI QST Tester in a Nutshell QST test equipment for Wafer, Row, Slider, HGA, HSA, and HDD test applications, using a common electronics/software platform: Static Tests Voice coil, Shorts, Fault Detection,... Low Frequency Measurements Transfer Curve, Amplitude, Resistance,... High Frequency Measurements SMAN, SMAN II, AC Noise, Popcorn, FFT,...

ISI Confidential Low Frequency Measurements Measures head resistance change versus an externally applied magnetic field through a low frequency channel. The following Low Frequency tests can be performed. Resistance Transfer curve Stability Bias angle Asymmetry sweep Resistance delta

ISI Confidential Transverse Transfer Curve

ISI Confidential Static Tests (HSA / HDA) As an optional plug-in board for HSA/HDA test applications, verification of the Preamp Chip, Flex, and Voice Coil assembly can be performed. Voice coil measurements Fault detection Current consumption Pin-Pin and Pin-Ground shorts Temperature Sensor control Passive component measurements RDX / RDY offset voltage

ISI Confidential High Frequency Measurements Measures high frequency read sensor noise as influenced by write, field, temperature, ESD stress, or combinations of those stresses. The following High Frequency tests can be performed SMAN and SMAN II FFT Frequency Response Glitch After Write (Popcorn /w digitizer) and simultaneous field sweep AC Noise Test W/R Recovery (/w digitizer)

ISI Confidential High Frequency Channel Technology 200 Mhz Analog Bandwidth 160 Mhz 10-bit digitizer Real-Time 250 uS Memory per cycle /w pre-trigger Simulates HDD HF Channel (measures from Rdx/Rdy) Smart Threshold Trigger for Digitizer Very Low Noise Channel W/R Recovery < 500 ns 12.5 – 400 Mhz Write Frequency Programmable Last Edge Polarity 2 User Selectable Filters (High-Pass freq defined by customer) Low Cut-Off Frequency 1-3 Mhz (defined by customer)

ISI Confidential Spectral Maximum Amplitude Noise (SMAN) Test Patent: US Soft Kink at 160 Oe

ISI Confidential Digitizer is The Key to S.M.A.N. Qualifies Three Types of Instability Events in One Second Test RMS Noise for broadband noise Max Amp for rare events such as Barkh. Jumps and Write Induced Instability Amp Noise for high probability noise

ISI Confidential Popcorn/AC Noise tests vs. SMAN Popcorn/AC noise set a threshold and count pulses exceeding the threshold Result is a count i.e. 10 or 10,000 Not enough information and not repeatable enough for pass/fail SMAN digitizes all pulses and gets noise amplitude in uV. Results are repeatable within 15% Allows prediction of drive level performance. Screens out heads that will cause high BER or loss of servo.
