ABSTRACT:
A preamplifier circuit couple to a magneto-resistive (MR) head used in the read circuitry of a magnetic storage device includes differential amplifiers coupled to receive an input from the MR head and to provide output signals. The preamplifier is designed to provide a low noise level. To minimize noise, transistors of the differential amplifiers provide high current gain and have large device geometries.
