Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent an output from being consumed wastefully, by operating a detection circuit only for a constant period via a timing circuit based on a drive select signal. CONSTITUTION:When the drive select signal with a L level is inputted, the timing circuit 6 outputs a signal with an H level for the constant period, and LED emits light by turning ON a switch circuit 8. In such a way, a phototransistor 2 is tuned ON, and the output of an inverter 3 goes to the H level, and a recording possible/impossible signal is latched at a latch circuit 7. Therefore, when the L level of the drive select signal is inputted in such state, a write protect signal with the L level is outputted from a NAND circuit 5, and a signal representing the unfeasibility of recording is sent to a host computer. By constituting a device in such a way, a current is supplied to the LED1 for a constant time, and wasteful current consumption can be prevented from being generated.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The conventional write protect detection circuit is configured as described above, and the light emitting diode for determining whether or not recording is possible is always lit. However, this detection circuit only needs to operate while the floppy disk device is in operation, and when it is not in operation, it is not necessary to turn on the light emitting diode and detect whether or not recording is possible. That is, in the conventional device, current flows through the light emitting diode even when there is no need to operate it, resulting in wasted power consumption.
