CXA1829N Description

The CXA1829N is a Read/Write amplifier for hard disk drive thin-film heads and is designed to handle up to 8-channel heads.

CXA1829N Key Features

  • Operates on a single 5V power supply
  • Low power consumption. Read: 115 mW Write (IW = 15 mA): 160 mW + IW × 5 Power Save: 7 mW
  • Write current can be varied through an external resistor. Built-in stabilizer circuit provides stable current, preventin
  • Drives up to 8 heads
  • Supports thin film heads or 2-pin MIG heads
  • Emitter follower-type Read amplifier features 290 times gain (typ.)
  • Write-unsafe detection circuit
  • Damping resistance is switched at Write (315 Ω)
  • Simultaneous Write function
  • Supply voltage monitor circuit prohibits error writing during power surge or abnormal voltage
