That is, an example of a conventional circuit is shown in Fig. 1, but the impedance of the magnetic head 1.1' is in the range of several hundred ohms to several thousand ohms, depending on the moving speed of the magnetic recording medium, the data recording density, etc. The output voltage varies in the range of several millivolts to several tens of millivolts, but in the case of magnetic cards such as magnetic tapes and magnetic disks that cannot secure a constant moving speed, the impedance of the voltage amplifiers 2 and 2' In addition, the voltage amplifier 2,
2' has an extremely high input impedance and is therefore easily susceptible to external induction. ■Since the integration circuits 3 and 3' are used, the number of components such as resistors and capacitors is extremely large, making the circuit complicated. Therefore, it is easily affected by voltage fluctuations and temperature changes, and the voltage amplifier 2, 2' and the final stage comparator are connected by AC coupling using capacitors to prevent the influence of offset voltage drift, so the DC base voltage fluctuates depending on the bit pattern and code amount interference occurs. Easy to occur. Furthermore, if the integral constant determined by the resistor and capacitor is set to a large value, the output voltage will be small, υ, and if it is set to a small value, a droop will occur in the output waveform, thus restricting the range of movement speed of the magnetic card.
Furthermore, there are problems such as the need for a diode to compensate for variations in bias current due to temperature.
Therefore, sufficient performance has not been achieved especially as a manual magnetic card-based bladder removal device.
