G085 Disk Read Amplifier

Summary: The G085 Disk Read Amplifier is a double-height module designed to detect and amplify timing tracks and data signals for the RS09 DECdisk. It features an AC-coupled amplifier with a 20 kHz to 1 MHz bandwidth, a maximum voltage gain of approximately 60 dB, and a 40 dB common-mode rejection ratio. The module includes adjustable slice and gain settings, gateable slice output, and specific test points for signal monitoring. It operates with input/output voltage levels of 0V and -3V (with the exception of the +20V timing track center tap) and has a propagation delay of 120 ns.
