Description Functions
Read amplifier
This is a low noise amplifier for amplifying the signals from the heads with an emitter follower output.
The RDX and RDY are the outputs of the differential amplifier whose polarity between the RDX and X side of
the head input is same.
Write circuit
The Write data input to WDX pin and WDY pin passes through the buffer amp. It drives the Write switch
circuit which supplies the Write current to the heads.
The Write current flows into the X side when WDX is “Low” and WDY is “High”.
Mode control
The mode are set as shown Table 1 by R/W and WUS/SE.

Servo write mode ∗∗
This mode allows for writing to multiple channels at once.
To enable servo write mode follow these steps:
(1) Place the device in the Read mode.
(2) Set HS0 and HS1 following Table 3.
(3) Set WUS/SE to VSEH, or input ISEH to WUS/SE.
(4) While maintaing step (2) and (3) above make R/W low, placing the device in servo write mode.

Write unsafe detection circuit
This circuit detects write errors.
In normal Write mode, the WUS output is low; in the conditions listed below, it is high.
• Head inputs is open (under the condition which. RH=∞ and Write data frequency is ≤ 10 MHz)
• Head input is shorted to GND or VCC.
• Write data frequency is abnormally low.
• No write current.
• In read mode.
• Supply voltage is abnormal (see power supply ON/OFF detection).
Power supply ON/OFF detection
This circuit monitors VCC to detect erroneous Writes. The error status is established when VCC falls below the
threshold voltage (Vth) of the power supply ON/OFF detector, in which case the recording and playback
functions are prohibited. When VCC rises above, VTH, the prohibition of these functions is released.

Notes on operation
• This device handles high frequency and high gain signals. Please note the following;
♦ Connect VCC decoupling capacitor of approximately 1000 pF near the device.
♦ Make the GND area as large as possible.
• When using as 2 or 4-channel, short-circuit the X and Y sides of unused head pins or leave them open.
• The WC pin is a constant voltage pin. When noise affects this pin, it creates noise in Write c current.
Therefore, locate RWC as close to the device as possible.
• Write unsafe detection circuit
This circuit uses the voltage waveforms of the head pins for detection.

♦ VFB must be more than 2 V. When VFB < 2 V, it is possible that Write unsafe detection maximum
frequency becomes more than 1 MHz.
♦ The normal operating area of write unsafe detection circuit is changed by head inductance, head DC
resistance, write current and other.
