A magnetic recording system for preventing data loss resulting magnetic oscillator current. The magnetic recording system includes a magnetic write head with a magnetic write pole, a magnetic oscillator near the magnetic write pole, and a write coil for magnetizing the write pole. Circuitry is connected with the magnetic write coil to supply a current to the write coil and connected with the magnetic oscillator to supply a current to the magnetic oscillator. The circuitry is configured to ensure that the current to the magnetic oscillator does not inadvertently magnetize the write pole after the magnetic write pole has demagnetized.

A method of removing a magnetic domain from a slider structure, such as a shield of a write head, in a storage assembly having a storage media. The method includes passing the slider structure in close proximity to a region on the storage media having a magnetic field sufficiently large to remove a magnetic domain in the slider structure.

This disclosure describes an apparatus that enables rapid transitions during microwave-assisted magnetic recording (MAMR) of storage media. In various aspects, the apparatus incorporates a driver circuit configured to provide a controlled bias current through separate source and sink output terminals, which respond to feedback signals. An MAMR sensor connects between the source and sink output terminals and generates microwave fields when receiving the controlled bias current from the driver circuit. A common-mode feedback (CMFB) loop connects to the source and sink output terminals, detects common-mode voltage (CMV), and delivers feedback signals to the driver circuit to maintain CMV regulation of the MAMR sensor. A differential voltage regulation loop connects to the source and sink output terminals, providing feedback signals that maintain the MAMR sensor voltage differential at a reference value. The apparatus controls the magnetic recording process of the MAMR sensor with rapid transition times.
