Notes:
1. Card Present, Data, and Strobe are negative true logic.
2. Card Present goes low after 14-15 head flux reversals.
3. Card Present returns to high level approximently 150mS after
the last flux transition.
4. Data is valid 1.0µS (min.) before the leading negative edge of
strobe and remains valid until approximently 1.0µS before the
next STROBE.

Reset Feature
In normal operation, the I.C. resets itself approximately 150
milliseconds after the last flux reversal from the magnetic
head. Reset may be forced by applying a pulse of 1.0 to 100
microseconds to the RESET pin. The positive edge of the
pulse will reset the I.C.

Printed Circuit Board Layout Requirements

The I.C. is a combined digital and analog system. The analog
signal pins are very low level. Good layout practice requires
that there be a separation of head and other analog signals
from the digital outputs. The digital signals are: DATA, 20725 South Annalee, Carson, CA. 90746
