Inductive magnetic recording head with impedance matching elements

A magnetic head, comprising:

• a substrate;
• a write coil formed on the substrate, the write coil having an inner turn and an outer turn;
• and
• a load termination network for the coil formed on the substrate and having a first terminal and a second terminal, the first terminal being connected to the inner turn of the write coil and the second terminal being connected to the outer turn of the write coil, the load termination circuit including at least one of a capacitor and a resistor, an impedance formed by the termination circuit substantially equaling a characteristic impedance Z0 of an interconnect circuit that will be connected to the write coil.

A disk drive, comprising:

• a write driver output stage having an output;
• an interconnect circuit having an input, all output and a characteristic impedance Z0, the input of the interconnect circuit being coupled !to the write signal output of the write driver output stage;
• and
• a magnetic head having an input coupled to the output of the interconnect circuit, the magnetic bead including a substrate, a write coil formed on the substrate, the write coil having an inner turn and an outer turn, and a load termination network for the coil formed on the substrate and having a first terminal and a second terminal, the first terminal being connected to the inner turn of the write coil and the second terminal being connected to the outer turn of the write coil, the load termination circuit including at least one of a capacitor and a resistor.
