Abstract
A selectively adjustable impedance boosting circuit for a magneto-resistive head in a disk drive to compensate a frequency pole by introducing a zero in proportion to the resistance of the magneto-resistive element and with selectable circuit parameters to further adjust the pole compensation. The invention includes selectively adjusting the sensitivity of the pole compensation to changes in the resistance of the head, selectively adjusting the peak compensation, and adjusting the frequency of the compensating zero.
