摘要:
Various embodiments of the present invention are generally directed to protecting a device from damage due to an impact event at the conclusion of a free fall condition through the use of a biasing signal that maintains a retention force until the impact event is completed.
摘要:
An aspect of the present disclosure relates to implementing a data protection mode based on system vibration modes in a data supported system. An exemplary system vibration mode is associated with an operating mode of the data supported system. The data protection mode operates to limit, or prevent, errors caused by the vibration. In one exemplary embodiment, a method is provided for operating a data supported system. The method includes receiving an indication that a vibration associated with an operating mode of the system will occur and, in response, implementing a data protection mode in the system.
摘要:
A method of handling a write error is provided. A write error is detected during a write operation on at least one data storage segment. A reassignment mode is selected from a plurality of different reassignment modes.
摘要:
A terminal voltage of an actuator motor is measured while the actuator motor is in a high impedance state. An internal voltage of the actuator motor is measured, and a back-EMF voltage of the actuator motor is estimated in response to the terminal voltage of the actuator motor and the internal voltage of the actuator motor. A drive current supplied to the actuator motor is controlled in response to the estimated back-EMF.

摘要:
A data storage device has a plurality of head/surface combinations with different data track densities on at least two surfaces. A minimum head quality is established for the data storage apparatus. Head quality is identified for each of the heads at each of a plurality of track densities. A tuned track density is selected for each surface based on the track density that corresponds to a head quality.
摘要:
A motor control circuit for controlling rotation of a motor includes parallel first and second controller paths (gears). Each path includes a proportional and integral (PI) controller and a digital to analog converter (DAC). The DACs operate over different dynamic ranges (gains). The respective PI controllers have different control parameters to provide a common frequency response. The first controller path is used to output motor control signals to control the application of drive current to the motor. The circuit switches to the second controller path once the first controller path operates within a selected tolerance of a minimum or maximum level of the first dynamic range. The final state of the first PI controller is used to configure the initial state of the second PI controller to eliminate transients. The use of different gears allows the circuit to adaptively accommodate large variations in motor current and spindle motor configurations.
摘要:
The disclosure is related to monitoring a portable electronic device to detect an occurrence of a power event. A command can be sent to a data storage device to initiate a maintenance procedure on the data storage device. In a particular embodiment, a method includes monitoring a portable electronic device to detect an occurrence of a power event. The method also includes selectively sending a command to a data storage device to initiate a maintenance procedure on the data storage device when the occurrence of the power event is detected.
