A circuit for equalizing the waveform of signal reproduced by a thin film magnetic head, which removes the negative edge of the waveform regardless of variation of the characteristics of the heads. In the equalizing circuit, an arithmetic circuit (7) receives the inputted read-out signal including negative edges and outputted from a thin film magnetic head, and equalizes the waveform of the inputted signal of a selected head (1) among thin film magnetic heads, using the following three output signals: the output of delay circuits (2, 3) whose input sides are terminated by means of characteristic impedances and which delay the inputted signal by a time tau 2, the output of a multiplying circuit (4) for multiplying the signal which is delayed by a time ( tau 2 - tau 1) by a value K1, and the output of a variable delay-time circuit (6) for delaying the inputted signal so as to remove the negative edges. The equalizing circuit is further provided with a delay setting circuit (8) which sets the delay time of the variable delay-time circuit (6) according to the signal representing the position of the head (1) and the head selecting signal. The delay time is controlled by the delay time specifying signal of the delay time setting circuit (8). |
