ABSTRACT:
An arrangement for reading out an information signal from a magnetic record carrier. The arrangement includes a read head having a magneto-resistive (MR) element (R.sub.m1) with a first terminal (3) connected to a first point (13) of constant potential, and a second terminal (4); a bias-current generator (2) having an output (5) for supplying a bias-current to the MR element; and an amplifier circuit (1) having a first terminal (6) coupled to the output (5) of the bias-current generator (2), and a second terminal (7) coupled to the second terminal (4) of the magneto-resistive element (R.sub.m1) so as to form a series arrangement of the bias-current generator, the amplifier circuit and the magneto-resistive element. At an output terminal (8), the information signal is available. The amplifier circuit (1) includes a MOS transistor T.sub.1 coupled between the output terminal (8) and the second terminal (7), and a feedback circuit, including a resistor (R.sub.1) and a capacitor (C.sub.1), having a low cut-off frequency (R.sub.1,C.sub.1) which provides a bias voltage to the gate of the MOS transistor (T.sub.1) and forces the bias-current of the bias-current generator (2) to flow through the MR element. Fast settling of the arrangement is possible by short-circuiting, via a switch (S.sub.1), the resistor (R.sub.1), a high charge current for capacitor C.sub.1 being supplied by a buffer amplifier (310). The buffer amplifier (310), the resistor R.sub.1 and the switch S.sub.1 provide fast settling without generating undesired off-set.
