Disk drive comprising an interconnect with transmission lines forming an approximated lattice network
A disk drive is disclosed comprising a disk, a head actuated over the disk, a preamp, and an interconnect for coupling the head to the preamp. The interconnect comprises a first transmission line stacked with a second transmission line, and a dielectric between the first transmission line and second transmission line. The transmission lines form an approximation of at least one inductor/capacitor ladder network and an approximation of at least one inductor/capacitor lattice network. The lattice network comprises a first leg and a second leg, and a cross-over hub for interconnecting the first leg and the second leg.
1. A disk drive comprising:
a disk;
a head actuated over the disk;
a preamp; and
an interconnect comprising a first transmission line stacked with a second transmission line, and a dielectric between the first transmission line and second transmission line, wherein the transmission lines form an approximation of at least one inductor/capacitor ladder network and an approximation of at least one inductor/capacitor lattice network, the inductor/capacitor lattice network comprising:
a first leg comprising part of the first transmission line stacked with part of the second transmission line, wherein the transmission lines are shorted at a first end of the first leg and open at a second end of the first leg;
a second leg comprising part of the first transmission line stacked with part of the second transmission line, wherein the transmission lines are shorted at a first end of the second leg and open at a second end of the second leg; and
a cross-over hub for interconnecting the first leg and the second leg.
2. The disk drive as recited in claim 1 , wherein the cross-over hub connects a first bottom part of the first leg to a first top part of the second leg.
3. The disk drive as recited in claim 2 , wherein the cross-over hub connects a second bottom part of the first leg to a second top part of the second leg.
4. A suspension for use in a disk drive, the suspension comprising an interconnect comprising a first transmission line stacked with a second transmission line, and a dielectric between the first transmission line and second transmission line, wherein the transmission lines form an approximation of at least one inductor/capacitor ladder network and an approximation of at least one inductor/capacitor lattice network, the inductor/capacitor lattice network comprising:
a first leg comprising part of the first transmission line stacked with part of the second transmission line, wherein the transmission lines are shorted at a first end of the first leg and open at a second end of the first leg;
a second leg comprising part of the first transmission line stacked with part of the second transmission line, wherein the transmission lines are shorted at a first end of the second leg and open at a second end of the second leg; and
a cross-over hub for interconnecting the first leg and the second leg.
5. The suspension as recited in claim 4 , wherein the cross-over hub connects a first bottom part of the first leg to a first top part of the second leg.
6. The disk drive as recited in claim 5 , wherein the cross-over hub connects a second bottom part of the first leg to a second top part of the second leg.
