Abstract

PURPOSE:To stabilize a magnetic field intensity generated from a magnetic head at the time of writing data on a recording medium by providing means for equalizing the DC voltage of an output terminal of a gate circuit and the base DC voltage of a driving transistor to substantially the same voltage value. CONSTITUTION:When a DC voltage of an output terminal of an AND gate 19 is V1, a DC voltage of an output terminal of a NAND gate 20 is V2, a base voltage of a transistor 15 is V1' and a base voltage of a transistor 16 is V2', the resistance values of resistors R1, R2 are selected so as to become V1 V1', and the resistance values of resistors R3, R4 are selected so as to become V2 V2'. Thus, a transient response is not generated due to time constant by coupling capacitors 13, 14, and a magnetic field intensity generated from a magnetic head at the time of writing data can be efficiently stabilized.
