    摘要: A method and apparatus are provided for recovering servo information in a disk drive for positioning a data transducer head relative to concentric data tracks wherein the head reads user data encoded in a predetermined data code and reads servo information within plural servo sectors embedded in each data track defined on a storage surface of a rotating disk. The data tracks are arranged in plural groups of concentric tracks within concentric zones wherein each zone has a user data transfer rate selected in relation to disk radius, the servo information being recorded in at least three patterns within each embedded servo sector: a servo sync pattern, a user data code violating pattern, and a servo data bit pattern. A servo data recovery circuit implements the method comprising the steps of:timing expected arrival of a servo sector with a sector timer,at the expected arrival of the servo sector detecting a said servo sync pattern with a servo sync pattern detector,detecting at least one said user data code violating pattern with a user data code violating pattern detector,detecting recurrent servo data bit patterns as binary data bits with a data reader,determining presence of a servo address mark with a master state machine following detection of said at least one user data code violating pattern,upon detection of a servo address mark, restarting said sector timer,accumulating within the master state machine the detected binary data bits in order to detect a track identification number, andproviding the track identification number to a head position servo loop for use in positioning the head relative to the data tracks during track seeking operations of the disk drive. The data reader forms an independent aspect of the present invention.

    摘要: A hard disk drive for a computer system including a head disk assembly with a disk platter of approximately one-and-eight-tenths-inch in diameter capable of storing more than forty megabytes. In an embodiment, data tracks on each data surface of the platter are spaced at approximately 2,558 tracks per inch and each data track has approximately 36,000 flux changes per inch. An actuator positions a pair of read/write heads on each platter surface using a voice coil motor to position the heads over a cylinder. A magnetic actuator latch attaches to another magnet on the actuator and locks the heads in a parked position at the innermost diameter of the platter. A spindle motor rotates the platter at approximately 5,400 revolutions per minute. A base plate, with a gasketed surface and a raised lip, hermetically seals with a cover to the base plate such that the platter, the actuator, the actuator latch, and the spindle motor are all contained within. The cover carries a breather filter and recirculating air filter. The raised lip on the base plate prevents direct electrical interference from passing between the base plate and the cover.

    摘要: A miniature disk drive achieves storage densities of at least approximately 1700 tracks per inch per storage surface of a storage disk defining a series of radially extensive servo sectors embedded within circumferential zones of data tracks. The sectors are recorded at a constant data transfer rate while each zone has a data transfer rate adapted to disk radius. The drive includes a head and head positioner, a read preamplifier for amplifying analog signals read from, and for amplifying signals to be written to, a storage surface. A circuit board carries drive electronics including a read channel, a servo processing circuit for recovering head location information from the servo sectors, a data block sequencer for sequencing data blocks between a buffer and the storage surface, a buffer memory controller for controlling the buffer, a bus level interface circuit for transferring data blocks between the buffer and a host computer, and a programmed digital controller which functions within a head position servo loop and which also controls the sequencer, buffer controller and bus level interface circuit. As one feature, the servo sectors split data blocks into segments. Segment byte counts in each data block header are used by the sequencer automatically to assemble the segments into data blocks during read and to divide the blocks into segments during write. A single VLSI circuit including the sequencer, servo processing circuit, memory controller and an interface to the microcontroller is disclosed.
