DESCRIPTION
L6327/L6332 is a BICMOS monolithic integrated circuit GMR differential preamplifier designed for use
with four-terminal magneto-resistive GMR read/inductive write heads. It is available as either a six
(L6327) or four (L6332) channel device. The devices
consist of a voltage-sense, current-bias or voltagebias (selectable), differential input and differential
output, low-noise, high bandwidth read amplifier and
include fast curr ent switching wri te drivers which support data rates in ex cess of 550 Mb/s with 70nH w rite
heads.
The GMR preamplifier provides programmable read
current / voltage bias and write current (5 bit DAC for
the read bias, 5 bit DAC for the write current), fault
detection circuitry and servo writing features. Read
amplifier gain, write current wave shape (overshoot,
undershoot and damping) can be adjusted and a
thermal asperity detection and correction circuit can
be enabled and programmed with different thresholds (6 bit DAC) through a 16-bit bi-directional serial
interface (SDEN, SDATA, SCLK). The device operates from a +5V supply and a -5V supply (nominal).
No external components are required as a trimmed
or untrimmed resistor for reference current setting is
employed.
