    摘要: Count pulses CTP from a counter 15 are supplied to a phase detector 3 through a two-frequency-divider 17 to produce measurement data N.sub.1 representing a difference in phase from a synchronized peak pulses PK. In a subtractor 4, the measurement data N.sub.1 is compensated with error data Ne from a register 13 in order to reduce the number of steady-state phase errors. An internal phase error .DELTA.N produced by the subtractor 4 is supplied to an LPF 5, undergoing compensation processing in a digital filter 7 thereof. The LPF 5 also includes a phase compensator 6 and a period compensator 8 for compensating a control delay experience by the internal phase error .DELTA.N in the digital filter 7. An integer part OPD1 of counter oscillation period data OPD output by the LPF 5 is used for determining an oscillation period of a counter 15 whereas a fraction part OPD2 thereof is accumulated in a register 12 through an adder 11. An error accumulated in a register 12 is transferred to a register 13 and stored therein as error data Ne. Accordingly, the acquisition time is shortened and the number of steady-state errors is also reduced as well.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention increase the convenience of a magnetic disk drive for portable use by shortening a period of time required to record a large amount of data, and by increasing the reproduction time, in the magnetic disk drive. In one embodiment, an area between servo data parts is interpolated by servo data parts, each of which stores a burst signal, so that the allocation density of a burst signal is made k times. At the time of write operation in which data is written, only the servo data parts are made use of to perform the servo control while a disk is driven at high rotational speed so as to reduce the recording time. At the time of read operation in which data is reproduced, the servo data parts are made use of to ensure the required precision of the servo control at low rotational speed that is 1/k of the rotational speed at the time of write operation. The reproduction at low rotational speed enables the reduction in power consumption.
