The data recovered by reading a track is transmitted to the host system
via a differential pair of MFM READ DATA lines. The transition of
the
+MFM READ DATA line going more positive than the - MFM
READ DATA line. represents a nux reversal on the tfilck of the select·
ed head.
The binary decoder (IC 4H) selects the desired head based on the status
or the Head Select lines. If the DC vollases are too low, possibly
causing an inaccurate Read operation, the decoder (pin.J2) will select
a nonexistent head. By rererencing 0 to + 5 Volts actual ground appears
as - 5 Volls, which eliminates the necessity of a negative power source
normally required by the LSI preamp.
With the Head Center Tap (HCT) active. data from the selected head
will now into the preamp (9E). which amplifies the Read signal and
also acts as a high-pass filler.
The HCT voltages are monitored and controlled by the custom
Read/Write LSI (SH). This chip monitors the Write Gate line and sets
the appropriate level on its Voltage Center Tap (VeT) for Read or
Write mode.
The ST22S may be mounted in the following orientations:
Horizontal: Spindle motor dowo
Sides: Left or riaht
