Sharp PC-1600

The reason why the reset signal is required at power on is to
hold it in the standby mode so as to avoid malfunction in
the floppy disk controller inside the floppy disk unit.

Fig. 3 Regulated power supply circuit
Fig.3 shows the regulated voltage supply circuit. In this
circuit, floppy disk unit's 5VC (SV of amp) is supplied
from VP (battery voltage), because SVC can not be sup-
plied from VCC on account of current restriction,
For the voltage of SVC is used with a voltage difference of
0.5V minimum against VCC, the power is produced in
reference to 5V B through the differentiation circuit corn-
posed of TR2 and TR3, not merely the regulator circuit.
SVB is a transistor output wh ich is employed to turn on/off
VCC with the MOTOR ON signal, and it has less voltage
drop caused in the transistor, as compared with VCC, So,
Dl is inserted to the outpur voltage feedback transistor
TR3 to correct 5VC to be 0.2 to 0.3 volts higher then 5VB
in appearance. (A schottky barrier diode is used for 01.)

5. Brief description of floppy disk drive
-
PC-l600
The floppy disk controller is implemented within the 2.S"
floppy disk drive, and the floppy disk driving and head
seeking are done by one motor. The floppy disk is driven
by the belt and the head is seeked using the solenoid and
cam.
The floppy disk controller and its peripheral logic are
contained in a single chip gate array (2700 gates) and the
read/write amplifier is also in a single chip LSI, which are
directly bus connected to permit a low voltage driving.
Floppy disk format and write method are unique to the
floppy disk. Though the floppy disk drive is for one-sided
operation, both sides of the media can be used.
Specification of FDU 250
1) Memory capacity:
64KB (512 Bytes/sector, 8 sectors/track)
2) Recording method:
GCR (4/5)
3) Transfer speed:
250K bits (25K Bytes/sec)
4) Track density:
48TPI
5) Total tracks:
16
6) Revolutions:
270 rpm
7) Access time:
One step 80 milliseconds from track 00 to track 15.
170 milliseconds to restore from track 15 to track 00.
Settling time:
SO milliseconds
8) Motor startup time:
0.5 second
NOTE: GCR is an abbreviation of of Group Coded Re-
cording. A single byte, 8 bits, data are divided into
two 4-bit data which is also converted onto a 5-bit
data. Thus, a single byte (8 bits) is recorded on the
media as a 10-bit data.
