Write-unsafe detection circuit (refer to the “Notes on Operation.”)
This circuit detects write errors.
In normal Write mode, the WUS output is low; in the conditions listed below, it is high.
• Head input is open.
• Head input is shorted to GND or VCC.
• Write data frequency is abnormally low.
• There is no Write current.
• In Read mode
• In Power save mode
• Supply voltage is abnormal (refer to the “Power supply ON/OFF detection.”)
Power supply ON/OFF detection
This circuit monitors VCC to detect erroneous Writes.
The error status is established when VCC falls below the threshold voltage (VTH) of the power supply ON/OFF
detector, in which case the recording and playback functions are prohibited.
When VCC rises above VTH, the prohibition of these functions is released.
