    摘要: A read clock circuit for a disk drive includes a phase-locked loop/voltage controlled oscillator (VFO/PLL) and a frequency synthesizer. The VFO/PLL receives a servo sector transition signal that is related to detected transitions in a servo sector field of a magnetic recording disk, and outputs a servo frequency signal that is synchronous to the servo sector transition signal. The frequency synthesizer receives the servo frequency signal and generates the read clock signal that is synchronous with the servo frequency signal. In a banded recording disk drive the frequency synthesizer generates a unique read clock signal for each data band.

    摘要: A magnetic recording disk drive has head positioning servo sectors with servo sector numbers (SSNs) that are not recorded on the disk. The SSNs are encoded through the use of multiple servo sector types that are arranged in a specific sequence around the data tracks. The different servo sector types are identified by unique types of servo timing marks (STMs), which are used to locate the servo sectors. The SSNs that are used to identify the servo sectors on the track form a set or code of m fixed n-bit patterns. A SSN is determined when the STM types read from n sequential servo sectors match one of the fixed SSN pattems. A set or code of m servo sectors, where each servo sector is identified by a unique SSN pattern having length n, is denoted as an (m,n,d) code, where d is referred to as the minimum Hamming distance of the code. The Hamming distance between two patterns refers to the number of locations that are different between the two pattems.

    摘要: A method of detecting and correcting reading errors of track identification (TID) of a magnetic data storage disk. The method comprises a means of constructing a encoded TID which is derived from generalized Gray code. The encoded TIDs have a distance of D between the adjacent code words, and a distance of at least 2D between non-adjacent code words within a band of M TIDS. The encoded TIDs can correct up to (D−1)/2 errors. The method also comprises means of encoding and decoding TIDS, and means of detecting and correcting errors with encoded TIDs.
