4ch. Read/Write Amplifier for Thin Film Head of Hard Disk Drive
For the availability of this product, please contact the sales office.
Description
The CXA1940N is a Read/Write Amplifier for the
thin film head of hard disk drives and designed to
handle up to 4-channel heads.
20 pin SSOP (Plastic)
Features
• Operate on single +5V power supply.
• Low power consumption.
Read : 95mW
Write (IW=20mA) : 130mW+IW × 5
Power save : 5.5mW
• Write current can be varied through an external
resistor. Built-in stabilizing circuit provides stable
current during voltage and temperature drift.
• Drives up to 4 heads.
• Designed for two-terminal thin-film or MIG heads.
• Built-in power save function.
• Read amplifier emitter follower output featuring
290 times gain (Typ.).
• Built-in Write unsafe detection circuit.
• Built-in supply voltage monitor circuit prohibits
incorrect Write during power on or abnormal
voltage.
• Built-in IC protection circuit for short of head and
GND.
• Differential input capacitance for Read : 14pF
(Typ.).
• Write data input minimum pulse width : 10ns
• Read data output become high impedance in write
mode to improve read data offset when switching
from write to read mode.
• Unselected head DC voltage is GND potential.
• Self switching damping resistance (RD=310Ω)
