2-4 Channel Pre-Amp, 500 MHz, 5V
The LD-PA-1000-050-x is a BiCMOS device that supports a 2, 4-channel GMR Preamplifier designed for use with 4-terminal magneto-resistive recording heads. It provides a low noise GMR head amplifier, GMR bias current control, thin film write driver, write current control, thermal asperity detection and correction. Fast recovery mode can be also programmed to put the chip faster in read mode from any other existing modes. The device is programmable for read gain, GMR resistance measurement, and thermal asperity threshold level. The device allows multiple channel write functions for servo writing. Half or all of the heads can be simultaneously selected in the servo write mode. Features and thresholds are controlled through a serial port interface. This product requires +5 V and +8 V supply voltage. Available in flip-chip or TSSOP packages.
