28.13.9 CTL Output Section

An on-chip control head amplifier is provided for writing the REC-CTL signal generated by the
write control circuit onto the tape.
The write control circuit controls the duty cycle of the REC-CTL signal in the writing of VISS
and VASS sequences and ASM marks and the rewriting of VISS and VASS sequences. The
duty cycle of the REC-CTL signal is set in REC-CTL duty data registers 1 to 5 (RCDR1 to
RCDR5). Times calculated in terms of φs (= f
be set in these registers. In VISS or VASS mode, set RCDR2 for a duty cycle of 25%±0.5%,
RCDR3 for a duty cycle of 30%±0.5%, RCDR4 for a duty cycle of 57.5±0.5%, and RCDR5 for
a duty cycle of 62.5±0.5%. When 1 is written in the duty I/O flag, the REC-CTL signal will be
written on the tape with a 25%±0.5% duty cycle when 0 is written in bit 7 (LSP7) in the bit
pattern register (BTPR) and with a 30±0.5% duty cycle when 1 is written. Table 28.21 shows
the relationship between the REC-CTL duty register and CTL outputs.
In ASM mark write mode, set RCDR3 for a duty cycle of 67% to 70%. An ASM mark will be
written when 0 is written in the duty I/O flag.
An interrupt request is generated at the rise of the reference signal after one CTL pulse has been
written. The reference signal is derived from the output signal (REF30X) of the X-value
adjustment circuit, and has a period of one frame.
Figure 28.60 shows the timings that generate the REC-CTL signal.
