Optimizing Tape Transport Motion Control Using Operational-Amplifier Analog Signal Processing

Authors: Strickland, James C.

Journal of the Audio Engineering Society · Volume 22 · Issue 3 · April 1974

Abstract

The use of monolithic operational amplifiers to process analog velocity signals in all motional modes of a modern tape transport is discussed. Circuits include summing, splitslope, and absolute value amplifiers; pulse-width modulators; and a new ac motor control method.
