Device for switching a video tape recorder head to write/read mode

摘要

A device for switching a read head from a write mode to a read mode includes a voltage ramp generating circuit, generating and outputting a voltage ramp after a write operation; a variable current source for discharging an initial current of the read head, wherein a current output by the current source is controlled proportionally to the slope between the beginning of the voltage ramp and a first threshold of the ramp, the current source having an initial maximum value higher than the initial current of the head; and an accentuating circuit for accentuating the ramp slope between the beginning of the ramp and a time when the current output by the variable current source becomes equal to the initial current present in the head.
