The present invention relates to a signal conversion circuit for a magnetic recording device that non-linearly compresses a 10-bit audio signal after A/D conversion into 8-bit audio signal and records it on a magnetic tape. In recording and reproducing equipment such as tape recorders that perform digital processing, generally, as shown in Figure 1,
Data is compressed to increase the amount of data recorded on a recording medium such as magnetic tape 1. That is, when recording,
After compressing the digital data (for example, 10 bits) that is the output of the A/D converter 2 by reducing the number of bits (for example, to 8 bits) using the instantaneous compressor 3,
It is recorded on magnetic tape 1. During playback, the compressed data is restored to the original number of bits by the instantaneous decompressor 4 and then input to the D/A converter 5, contrary to the above. For example, in a tape recorder, it goes without saying that the sound recorded and reproduced as described above must not impair the sense of hearing. However, if the compressor 3 uniformly deletes, for example, the lower bits of the data, the data of the small level signal will all become 0, and conversely, if the upper bits of the data are uniformly deleted, the data with a large value will be reduced to its value. becomes 1/2 or 1/4, etc., and is greatly different from the original value. Therefore, the conventional method is to set a broken line as shown in Figure 2 and convert 2 n types of input data (displayed on the x-axis) quantized with n bits into 2 nm types of data (displayed on the y-axis). It has been adopted. In this case, first a comparator or decoder is used to determine the condition to which section of the broken line the input data belongs, and then a shift using a shift register and constant addition are performed according to the conversion rules for each section. n-
Convert to m-bit data. If the conversion is performed along such a broken line, if the value of the input data is small, the lower bits will not be deleted, and if the value is large, the upper bits will remain without being deleted.
As a result, upon reproduction, data with a small value is reproduced accurately to the value before recording, and data with a large value is also reproduced to approximately the value before recording. That is, in each section of the polygonal line, compression (or expansion) can be performed without substantially losing useful information. When using a comparator to determine which section of the broken line the input data belongs to, the second
For each corner point x 1 , x 2 , x 3 , . . . shown in the figure, a comparator having the number of bits from the MSB to the smallest (from the LSB) bit with a 1 stands for the n-bit data at each corner point. One piece is required for each point. When using a decoder to judge conditions,
1 from MSB through n bits of data at all points.
A decoder is required that has the number of bits up to the smallest bit for which . However, in the past, each break point has been arbitrarily set to a value that is thought to have the least influence on the auditory sense during playback, so the break point is not necessarily an efficient value in terms of hardware configuration. FIG. 3 shows a conventional example of a broken line used when converting positive 10-bit data to 8-bit data. Table 1 below shows the bit pattern at each corner point in FIG.

[Table] As is clear from the bit patterns in Table 1, in this conversion, the bit patterns "0000001",
One each of 7-bit, 8-bit, and 7-bit comparators for detecting "00011001" and "0100011" or one 8-bit ROM decoder are required. In this way, when 1 is set in the lower bit of the arbitrarily set breaking point value in broken line compression, the number of bits required for the comparator and decoder increases, and as a result, the hardware configuration of the signal conversion circuit becomes complicated. This leads to increased costs. The present invention was invented in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and is a magnetic recording device that non-linearly compresses a 10-bit audio signal after A/D conversion into 8-bit audio signal using a polygonal line and records the compressed signal on a magnetic tape. This relates to a signal conversion circuit for a magnetic recording device having an encoder in which the values of the break points of the broken line are set to 8, 80, and 320, and the values of the break points of the broken line are set to 8, 80, and 320. The purpose of this configuration is to make it suitable for a magnetic recording device that records digital audio signals on a magnetic tape, and to simplify the hardware configuration of the signal conversion circuit. Examples of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. 4 and Table 2. Similar to FIG. 3, FIG. 4 shows broken lines when converting 10-bit data to 8-bit data. Table 2 below shows bit patterns corresponding to each corner point in FIG.

[Table] First, the value of the first break point can be set arbitrarily as in the conventional case, but it goes without saying that it is advantageous to set it so that the lower bit does not set to 1 as much as possible. In this example, 8 was adopted as the value of this first break point. In this 8 bit pattern, the second
As is clear from the table, 1 is not set in the lower 3 bits. Therefore, as the value of the second break point, a value in which at least the lower three bits are not set to 1 is selected, and in this embodiment, 80 is adopted. Similarly, for the value of the third breakpoint, at least the lower 3 bits are not 1.
320 was adopted. If you choose the values of the break points in this way, 8, 80, 3
One 7-bit, 6-bit, and 4-bit comparator, or a 7-bit ROM decoder, for determining the bit patterns "0000001,""000101," and "0101" corresponding to each of the 20 corner points. Since only one is required, the number of bits required to determine the break point is smaller than in the conventional example shown in Figure 3 and Table 2, and the hardware configuration of the signal conversion circuit is simplified. Cost reduction is possible. Although this embodiment shows only positive data, negative data is also subjected to similar conversion. or
Since the MSB is used as a sign bit, actual condition judgment requires a comparator or decoder with one bit less, and a gate for judging the MSB. Since the present invention has the above-described configuration, it hardly causes any auditory effects due to signal conversion, and is suitable for a magnetic recording device that records digital audio signals on a magnetic tape. In addition, there is no waste in the value of the break point in the signal conversion circuit (broken line compression), and the number of bits is not greater than that required for determining the break point on the lowest level side, which simplifies the hardware configuration. I can figure it out.
