A method and apparatus for compensating for written-in repeatable runout in a disc drive is provided. Compensation values are determined through an iterative learning process in which parameters of the learning process such as learning gain, servo loop gain, etc. are functions of the iteration number. The learning process also employs a nominal double integrator model of an actuator of the disc storage system. The learning process is also a function of a zero-phase low-pass filter.

A method of handling multiple resonance frequencies in a disc drive includes monitoring a position error signal (PES) for an actuator arm, generating a plurality of feedforward compensation signals from the PES using a plurality of bandpass filters, and applying the compensation signals to a servo control signal. Each filter has a center frequency that is set to a problematic resonance frequency. The method may also include identifying the problematic frequencies by, for example, commanding a movement of the actuator arm, collecting data points for the PES that are associated with the movement, and performing a digital fourier transform of the data points to identify resonant frequencies. Other methods of identifying problematic frequencies include analyzing PES zero-crossing data, or using principal component analysis.

A repetitive learning compensator for a servo system of a disc drive includes a memory buffer having a length N/m where N is the number of servo sectors in a track, m is a parsing factor greater than 1 and N/m is an integer. A down sampler supplies servo signals containing error signals to the repetitive learning compensator at a frequency of fs/m, where fs is a sampling frequency based on N and a fundamental frequency f0 of the spindle motor. An up sampler supplies filtered signals from the repetitive learning compensator to the actuator assembly at the sampling frequency fs. One aspect of the disclosure includes tuning the repetitive learning compensator with a phase advance represented by NPA and a cutoff frequency fc, where NPA and fc are selected as a pair to provide the greatest transfer function amplitude at the harmonic frequencies for the repetitive learning compensator.

A disc storage system is provided which includes a servo control loop for compensating for repeatable runout. Repeatable runout is compensated using table entries of the form Comp Value(k+1)=Comp Value(k)+K&PHgr;(z)RRO(k), where K is a learning rate; k is iteration number &PHgr;(z) is a filter and RRO(k) is the repeatable runout error. Further, &rgr;(j&ohgr;)=|1−K&PHgr;(j&ohgr;)/(1+PC(j&ohgr;)|
摘要:
Method and apparatus for compensating variations in motor torque in a control system that employs a motor to accelerate a control object, such as a data transducing head in a data storage device. During acceleration of the control object, a plurality of distances successively traveled by the control object are measured, and the measured distances are combined to compensate for said variations in motor torque. Preferably, a constant control input is applied to accelerate the control object at a constant rate of acceleration less than a maximum rate of acceleration that can be obtained by the motor. A coarse adjustment routine is preferably applied to arrive at a first compensation value that compensates for said variations at a first resolution, after which a fine adjustment routine is performed using the first compensation value to arrive at the final compensation value at a second resolution greater than the first resolution.

A disc drive includes a base and a disc rotatably attached to the base. The disc drive also includes an actuator assembly rotatably attached to said base and a device for moving the actuator assembly. The actuator assembly includes an actuator arm and a transducer head in a transducing relationship with respect to the disc. The transducer is attached to the actuator arm. A method for screening disc drives for resonant frequencies associated with the actuator arm includes the steps of following a track within the disc drive, and selectively boosting the servo control signal. The method further includes a step of monitoring a position error signal from a transducer attached to an actuator arm of a disc drive. The position error signal is monitored by filtering the position error signal using a bandpass filter. Boosting the servo control loop includes tuning the magnitude of the booster signal gain.

A method of implementing an automatic acoustic management feature for a disc drive includes receiving an acoustic/performance compromising factor from a host, tuning disc drive performance by applying the factor to a control parameter to generate a modified control parameter, and executing a loop for controlling a disc drive operation using the modified control parameter. In another embodiment, a disc drive has a base, a rotatable disc, an actuator assembly with an arm for carrying a head in transducing relation to the disc in response to a control signal, a receiver for receiving an acoustic/performance compromising factor, and a controller that monitors the position of the arm and generates the control signal. The controller executes a seeking control loop having a control parameter modified by applying a compromising factor to the parameter to tune the acoustic performance of the drive.

A method and storage device are provided for initializing a polynomial linearizer in the storage device. The linearizer is initialized by identifying the coefficients of the linearizer polynomial. To reduce the computational intensity of this process, orthogonal-type coefficients for at least two orthogonal polynomials are identified, where the linearizer polynomial is formed as the sum of the orthogonal polynomials. The orthogonal-type coefficients are then combined to identify linearizer coefficients for the linearizer polynomial.

A disc drive device includes a base and a disc rotatably attached to the base. The disc drive also includes an actuator assembly rotatably attached to said base and a device for moving the actuator assembly. The actuator assembly includes an actuator arm and a transducer head in a transducing relationship with respect to the disc. The transducer is attached to the actuator arm. A method of screening disc drives for harmonic resonant frequencies includes sampling the position error signal at a track location in the disc drive, and determining the velocity of the position error signal from the sample of the position error signal. The velocity of the position error signal sample is divided by the position error signal to produce a quotient. The quotient is compared to a selected quotient threshold value to determine the type of a harmonic in the disc drive.

A method of characterizing and screening a disc drive based on a voice coil motor pivot friction developed during a low velocity seek operation consists of determining estimated drive level bias values required by the voice coil motor to move an actuator arm assembly during a fast seek, then determining a low velocity drive level bias values required by the voice coil motor to move an actuator arm assembly during a slow seek, then computing a difference between the estimate drive level bias values and the low velocity drive level bias values, then determining a hit counter value based on comparing the computed difference with a predetermined threshold value, and then characterizing the disc drive based on the hit counter value.
