ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for recording on a magnetic record carrier includes a write amplifier comprising four current mirrors which are turned on two at a time by two switchable floating current sources connected between the input terminals of the current mirrors in order to produce a write current of alternating polarity through a write head. The high impedance at the terminals of the write head enables the common-mode voltage across the write head to be fixed at any desired voltage value by means of a common-mode circuit. The symmetrical structure further enables the parasitic capacitances at the write terminals to be neutralized by means of neutralizing capacitors.
