    摘要: A low cost disk drive system includes track zero information located in a single sector on the disk surface. The information is comprised of a first type of signal located in tracks to one side of an arbitrary reference track and a second type of signal located in the tracks to the other side of the arbitrary reference track. The magnetic head of the disk drive system is moved radially with respect to the disk and the transition between the signals detected in order to locate the head at the reference track.

    摘要: An automatic head retract system for a disk drive. The system operates in response to electric power turn off to retract the heads to a landing zone on the disk surface. The heads are retracted by operating a positioner motor under the control of logic internal to the disk drive unit without intervention by a host computer. The positioner motor comprises a multiphase DC brushless motor which, after power loss, is supplied with current from a capacitor charged during normal drive usage, and by the back EMF of a spindle motor. A latch mechanically locks the heads in the landing zone.

    摘要: Disclosed is a rotational speed control system for comparing the rotational speed of a rotating disk as indicated by index pulses occurring one or more times per revolution of the disk, with a reference time representing the desired time between successive index pulses. The system employs logic circuitry external to any microprocessor control system employed by the rotating disk system. The reference time may be supplied by counters counting externally supplied clock pulses to a fixed value. The speed control system provides a speed up command or slow down command in a manner proportional to the speed error to the disk drive motor where the time between successive index pulses is greater or less, respectively, than the reference time.

    摘要: Magnetic reference patterns may be generated on a disk or other magnetic media without the need for seed wedges. This involves writing a first magnetic reference pattern to the disk with a servo writer. The disk may then be transferred to a hard disk drive. Control circuitry within the hard disk drive may recognize the first magnetic reference pattern and then position a RW head within the hard disk drive based on the first magnetic reference pattern. As the RW drive is accurately positioned based on the first magnetic reference pattern a second magnetic reference pattern may be written to the disk using the RW head. The RW head location is determined based on the velocity and phase between the read-write head and spiral sync marks contained within the first magnetic reference pattern.

    摘要: A method determines RW head radial position relative to tracks within a magnetic data disc. This involves sensing both a S-burst signal and a P-burst signal with the RW head. The S-burst signal and P-burst signal are associated with a two-burst servo pattern on the magnetic disc. The S-burst pattern has a phase that remains constant radially across tracks within the magnetic disc. The P-burst has a second phase that rotates radially across tracks within the magnetic disc. By determining a phase difference between a sensed S-burst signal and P-burst signal, it is possible to determine the RW head radial position relative to the tracks on the magnetic disc.

    摘要: Disclosed is a disk drive having a plant with a moveable transducer and a servo controller that more precisely controls the transducer during short to medium seeks by producing a multi-rate feed-forward command effort signal. The servo controller includes a reference position generator that provides a reference position signal that varies as a function of time along a shaped position profile for moving the transducer from a start position to a target position in a smoothly controlled fashion, a feed-forward control path that receives the reference position signal and applies a feed-forward command effort signal at a feed-forward rate that is greater than the servo sampling rate to move the actuator more closely along the shaped position profile between servo samples; and a feedback control path that receives the reference position signal and the indicated position signal and applies a feedback command effort signal at the servo sampling rate based on a difference between the reference position signal and the indicated position signal to make minor corrections to error remaining after application of prior feed-forward command effort signals.

    摘要: A disk drive with a disk having a servo pattern including a special “calibration track” wherein a plurality of staggered calibration burst pairs define null points that are radially shifted from a burst pair centerline by precise, predefined, fractional track amounts to collectively provide accurate information about servo signal values generated as a function of real displacement. The staggered calibration bursts beneficially allows for calibrating the PES signal after the drive is removed from the servowriter during a manufacturing phase called Intelligent Burn-In. The staggered calibration bursts are preferably written in data regions so that they are disposable and may be selectively written over with data to maximize storage space. Some or all of the calibration bursts may alternatively be retained for a subsequent recalibration.

    摘要: A magnetic storage disk drive having a servo burst pattern which asymmetrically increases the linear region in which a read head may be micro-jogged from a burst pair center line to align the read head with a data track. The innovative servo pattern comprises a first pair of servo bursts that define a first burst pair centerline for writing a particular data track to a data track side of the first centerline, and a second pair of servo bursts collectively define a second burst pair centerline that is positioned to the data track side of the first burst pair centerline and is sufficiently close to the first burst pair center line so that the read head "sees" the second pair of servo bursts before "losing" the first pair of servo bursts when micro-jogged to the data track side for reading. The second burst pair centerline should be no farther from the first burst pair centerline than the linear read width of the read head. The preferred servo bursts span a full track pitch are arranged in a uniformly repeating pattern of A/B and C/D burst pairs. The first burst pair centerline may be defined by the A/B pairs in one annular disk region and by the C/D burst pairs in another annular disk region in order to asymmetrically expand the linear region in the direction needed for micro-jogging the read head in different directions within the respective annular regions.

    摘要: The invention relates generally to rotating magnetic storage disk drive and, more particularly, to a method of seamlessly recording circumferentially overlapping servo bursts on a magnetic disk with successive passes of a write head that is guided by a servo track writer wherein the servo bursts are contained in at least two servo burst groups that each have at least one circumferential burst position which may contain a servo burst. The method comprises the steps of turning a write current ON while passing the write head over a current ramp region that does not contain servo data and is located in front of an "active" servo burst group that will be modified on this pass, modifying a servo burst in at least one circumferential position of the active servo burst group with the write current ON; turning the write current OFF while passing the write head over a current ramp region that does not contain servo data and is located in front of a "passive" servo burst group that will not be modified on this pass; and skipping over at least one circumferential burst position of the passive servo burst group with the write current OFF.
