Abstract
A current generating circuit which has a current source, two switches connected in serial between one of the output terminals and a first or second transistor, and a control signal generating circuit that generates a control signal for operating the first and second transistors out of phase. A write current is generated between the output terminals by direct switching of a current supplied to the first and second transistors by the two switches. The dynamic range of the output voltage for a magnetic head in a recording apparatus connected to the output terminals can be made large, and the rising and falling times of the write current can be shortened to result in an improved high speed recording.
