Abstract

See full text

A single integrated circuit chip provides an interface to both magneto-resistive read elements and inductive write elements of a plurality of read/write heads of a disk drive mass data storage system. Separate multiplexers and current sources are used for the read and write channels. The read element of a head selected by one of the multiplexers is preamplified on the chip. A write driver circuit is also provided, being connected to a write element of a head selected by the other of the multiplexers.
