Abstract

See full text

The present invention discloses a write driver circuit for driving a magnetic head in an information storage system. The write driver circuit is connected to first and second voltage supply terminals and includes first and second data input terminals for receiving data input signals. The H-switch has a pair of pull-up transistors and a pair of pull-down transistors to switch current flow between a first direction and a second direction which is opposite to the first direction. A pair of anti-saturation circuits are connected to the H-switch to bias the pull-up transistors. The anti-saturation circuits contain a transistor having a collector, a base and an emitter and a pair of substantially similar diodes connected between the base and the collector of the transistor.
