Abstract
A DC feed-back circuit for causing a DC voltage of an external transistor in which an output bias current of a record amplifier flows to be equal to a DC voltage of an output terminal is provided so as to decrease power consumption. Thus, a plurality of record amplifying circuits can be incorporated into one IC chip. In particular, in home-use Hi-Fi VCRs, a Hi-Fi record amplifying circuit and video record amplifying circuits can be incorporated into one chip.
Claims4
An amplifying circuit for a magnetic record and playback apparatus, comprising:
- a set of magnetic heads including, first and second magnetic heads having first and second windings, respectively, first ends of said first and second windings being connected to a common point;
- a first playback amplifying circuit having first and second input terminals, the first input terminal being connected to the common point;
- a second playback amplifying circuit having first and second input terminals, the first input terminal being connected to the common point;
- selecting means for selecting an output of one of the first playback amplifying circuit and the second playback amplifying circuit;
- an output terminal connected to the selecting means;
- inputting means for inputting a first recording signal and a second recording signal, a polarity of the first recording signal being different from a polarity of the second recording signal;
- a first record amplifying circuit having an input terminal and an output terminal, the input terminal receiving the first recording signal, and the output terminal and the second input terminal of said first playback amplifying circuit being alternatively connected to a second end of said first winding through first switching means;
- and
- a second record amplifying circuit having an input terminal and an output terminal, the input terminal receiving the second recording signal, and the output terminal and the second input terminal of said second playback amplifying circuit being alternatively connected to a second end of said second winding through second switching means.
