AN3375S
2-head recording/playback amplifier IC (V2)
for a stand-alone VHS-VCR
■ Overview
The AN3375S is a two-head recording/playback amplifier IC for a VHS-VCR enabling a fewer
pin package. The package is 16-pin, 1.27 mm pitch
SO type. The power supply is 5 V single source.
■ Features
• Recording current without adjustment (Zener zap
method)
• Damping-less amplifier for playback-system
• Built-in auto tracking circuit
■ Applications
• Stand-alone type VHS-VCR
