Single Chip Read & Write Channel

The L6000 is a 5V single chip read channel IC. It contains all the functions needed to implement a high performance read channel including the pulse detector, programmable active Filter servo Demodulator frequency sinthesizer, and data separator, at data rates up to 32 Mbit/s. A single external resistor sets the reference current for the internal DAC which, in turn, fixes the data rate. This device is programmed through a serial port and banks of internal Registers It is fully compat- ible with zoned bit recording applications. Exter- nal components do not need to be changed when switching between zones. The L6000 is manufac- tured using an advanced BiCMOS technology. By STMicroelectronics
