Abstract

A recording apparatus for recording an information signal on a magnetic record carrier includes a write driver circuit and a magnetic write head. The write driver circuit comprises a first voltage driver and a second voltage driver. A first current driver and a second current driver are present for driving the write head. The first and second voltage driver each include a respective series circuit of an npn transistor and a bidirectional impedance element coupled between a point of constant potential and the respective outputs of the first and second voltage drivers.
