An integrated circuit controls the low level, electromechanical functionality of a computer mass storage device, such as a magnetic disk drive incorporating a spindle motor for rotatably controlling a disk and an actuator for positioning at least one read/write head with respect to the disk, to read or write encoded data configured in information data sectors and to sense encoded data of servo data sectors. A servo subsystem is coupled to an output of the read/write head for detecting the servo data sectors and providing a control signal in response thereto. An analog-to-digital subsystem is also coupled to an output of the read/write head and is operative in response to the servo subsystem control signal for converting the encoded data of the servo data sectors to digital transducer position information representative of a position of the read/write head with respect to the data tracks. A data processing subsystem is coupled to the analog-to-digital subsystem for processing the digital transducer position information and providing digital motion control signals in response thereto. A digital-to-analog subsystem is coupled to the data processing subsystem for providing analog control signals to the spindle motor and the actuator in response to the digital motion control signals.
