    摘要: A phase locked loop (PLL) circuit is disclosed comprising a phase detector for generating a phase error between an input oscillating signal and an output oscillating signal. A fractional frequency synthesizer (FFS) generates the output oscillating signal in response to the phase error, wherein the FFS comprises an input for receiving a reference oscillating signal, and a fractional divider responsive to variables I and Fr. The variable I is an integer value, and the variable Fr is a fractional value, both of which are generated in response to the phase error.

    摘要: A computer system is disclosed comprising a host connected to a disk drive, the disk drive comprising a disk surface having a plurality of tracks arranged in an embedded servo format including servo track segments for storing servo data and data track segments for storing user data. The disk drive includes a read element operative during a user-data read operation for reading data from the disk surface to produce a time-multiplexed analog read signal that during a revolution of the disk represents analog read servo data during each of a first set of time intervals and represents analog read user data during each of a second set of time intervals. The disk drive includes a sampled signal processing circuit that generates a servo state variable while processing the time-multiplexed read signal during the first servo time interval and a user data state variable while processing the time-multiplexed read signal during the first user data time interval. The disk drive includes a servo state variable trap register for storing the servo state variable at the end of the first servo time interval. The disk drive includes a data state variable trap register for storing the user data state variable at the end of the first user data time interval. The disk drive includes a control circuit for providing the stored servo state variable to the sampled signal processing circuit at the beginning of the second servo time interval. The control circuit provides the stored user data state variable to the sampled signal processing circuit at the beginning of the second user data time interval.
