Abstract
Circuitry is provided that interconnects a plurality of MR heads on a substrate with control circuitry using a lesser number of interconnecting paths. This reduces the number of required substrate pins to which the interconnecting paths are connected. The reduced number of substrate pins is such that it enables manufacturing and processing techniques to accommodate an increased number of MR heads on a given substrate over that which would be possible with the prior art interconnecting techniques.
