    摘要: The invention is a method of calibrating a position error signal (PES) to overcome the problem of a measured displacement or PES that varies as a non-linear function of real displacement when the read transducer is positioned to either side of a null position where the PES equals zero. The PES is notably nonlinear while reading servo burst information with a Magneto-Resistive (MR) head which has nonlinear magnetic characteristics. The method uniquely calibrates the measured PES to provide a corrected PES without requiring any knowledge of the actual displacement from the position where the measured PES equals 0. The calibration according to this method, therefore, may be performed at anytime without need for real displacement information from a servowriter or any sort of special calibration track. The method involves positioning the MR head to a plurality of predetermined, measured displacements corresponding to partial track increments of real displacement of unknown magnitude on either side of the null position, measuring a PES gain value at each of the plurality of measured displacements, and then correcting subsequent measured displacements based on the plurality of measured displacements and corresponding PES gain values. The correcting step is preferably accomplished by using the measured displacements and corresponding PES gain values to establish coefficients of a correction function c(y) which substantially provides unity gain relative to real displacement over a limited range of measured displacements. The preferred correction function c(y) is a partial sum Fourier series.

    摘要: An automatic head retract system for a disk drive. The system operates in response to electric power turn off to retract the heads to a landing zone on the disk surface. The heads are retracted by operating a positioner motor under the control of logic internal to the disk drive unit without intervention by a host computer. The positioner motor comprises a multiphase DC brushless motor which, after power loss, is supplied with current from a capacitor charged during normal drive usage, and by the back EMF of a spindle motor. A latch mechanically locks the heads in the landing zone.
