DP84600R DP84605R
Thin-Film MIG Head Read Write Preamplifier
General Description
The DP84600R DP84605R are 5V high performance four
channel low power read preamplifiers write current drivers
designed for two-terminal recording head applications An
idle mode is available which conserves power to a level of
0 5 mW (typically) when activated Power supply fault pro-
tection is included to disable the write current generator
whenever the supply voltage is below 4V Both parts incor-
porate 300X write damping
The DP84600R has a read gain of 300 versus 200 for the
DP84605R
Upon request other options such as other read gains PECL
inputs no damping and different packaging are available
