A resonance-frequency measuring method is used for measuring a resonance frequency of an information recording/reproducing device reproducing information recorded on a medium by driving a mechanism unit. The resonance-frequency measuring method includes the measuring step of applying sine-wave oscillations at different frequencies one by one to the mechanism unit, and counting the number of times information reproduced upon application of each of the sine-wave oscillations differs from information indicating an aimed location, and the resonance-frequency determining step of determining the resonance frequency according to the number of times counted in the measuring step.

Disclosed is a head positioning control system for disk drives which enables fast access even when eccentricities of tracks defined with servo control information relative to the center of rotation are different among disks assembled after the servo control information is externally written on the respective disks. The head positioning control system is adapted to a disk drive comprising a plurality of disks each having a record surface on which servo control information indicating positions in a radial direction on a disk is recorded, and heads associated with the plurality of disk record surfaces and designed to detect information stored on the plurality of disk record surfaces. The servo control information includes position information in the radial direction on each disk record surface and defines servo-control circular trajectories. In addition to known components, the head positioning control system includes an eccentric information memory for storing eccentric information concerning eccentricities of servo-control circular trajectories on disk record surfaces relative to the center of rotation, and an optimal processing unit that when object disk record surfaces are changed according to an instructed target address, executes processing, which requires the shortest time for accessing a target address, on the basis of eccentric information.

A high-density disk unit and disk medium are disclosed. Track ID information is not placed in a servo area, or if some track ID information is placed therein, a necessary minimum is placed. The servo area is thus reduced in order to improve formatting efficiency.A data side of a disk medium is divided into a servo area and a data area in units of a sector. A track ID area in which track information is recorded is defined at the start position of the data area immediately following the servo area. A formatter circuit allows a write data modulation circuit to write track information in the track ID area during track formatting. For writing in the data area, the formatter circuit allows a read data demodulation circuit to read data from the track ID area. Track information is thus detected, and writing tracking is assured.

A method of demodulating head position in a disk apparatus in which a head is moved toward a target cylinder using a position detection signal that has been recorded on a disk medium. This method includes the steps of: predicting, at a current sampling point, the position of the head at the next sampling point; moving the head by instructing a current for a motor based upon the predicted position; obtaining a position deviation which indicates deviation from the predicted position to the head position at the next sampling point by reading the position detection signal that has been recorded on the disk medium; demodulating the head position at the next sampling point using the position deviation signal and the predicted position; predicting position of the head at an immediately following sampling point using a value obtained by outputting the difference (traveling velocity) between predicted positions at neighboring sampling points via a first-order low-pass filter, the predicted position, a difference between the predicted position and the head position and the value of the current instructed for the motor, and instructing a current for the motor based upon the predicted position.

摘要:
A servo circuit for a magnetic disk apparatus includes a target speed generating circuit which generates a target speed in accordance with an amount of movement. A speed signal producing circuit produces a real speed from a position signal from a servo object. A speed error generating circuit controls the speed of the servo object based on an error between the target speed and the real speed. Acceleration and deceleration control are performed to position the servo object at the target position. An acceleration detection circuit detects acceleration and outputs an acceleration-in-progress detection signal for changing a cut-off frequency of the speed error generating circuit between acceleration and deceleration. The servo circuit has a servo loop which supplies a seek current based on an error signal between a target speed and real speed to a voice coil motor and performs speed control on a head carriage. An addition circuit adds a predetermined addition value to the error signal during acceleration after the speed control starts. An amplifier determines the frequency characteristics of the servo loop. A gain switching circuit switches a preset gain to a larger gain between the start of a seek operation and the completion of acceleration. A speed signal generating circuit generates the real speed of the servo object based on a position signal of the servo object. A band changing circuit changes the band of a speed signal producing circuit in accordance with a seek difference.
