Abstract :
GMR recording heads used in today´s hard disk drives are very sensitive to damage from impulsive current transients caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD) and even the electromagnetic interference (EMI) due to a nearby ESD event.[1,2,3] In this work, we measure the EMI inside a hard disk drive due to a variety of ESD events outside the drive enclosure.
