Abstract

A method, apparatus, and system for implementing spin integrated spin-torque oscillator (STO) with an interface bias control for hard disk drives. Bias circuitry for a spin-torque oscillator (STO) is integrated with a slider for microwave assisted magnetic recording (MAMR). The slider includes read and write transducers and the integrated STO bias circuitry controls a bias potential applied to a write return pole to the write transducer with respect to a disk.
