摘要： Disclosed is a disk drive to characterize misaligned servo wedges. A disk of the disk drive includes a plurality of circumferential tracks, in which, each track includes a plurality of servo wedges spaced sequentially around the circumference of the track wherein the servo wedges may be misaligned relative to the head of the disk drive that moves about a pivot. A servo controller is used to characterize the misaligned servo wedges relative to the head during a seek operation by implementing the following operations: commanding the head to perform a seek operation from a starting track to an ending track; obtaining samples of wedge-to-wedge time (WTWT) values corresponding to time intervals between identified servo wedges for sampled tracks traversed during the seek operation; calculating WTWT variations for each sample; and calculating a calibrated misalignment value for each sample based upon WTWT variations.

摘要： A disk drive is discloses comprising a disk, a head connected to a distal end of an actuator arm, and a voice coil motor (VCM) for rotating the actuator arm about a pivot in order to actuate the head radially over the disk. If when a power failure occurs the radial location of the head is less than a predetermined distance from the outer diameter of the disk, the VCM is controlled to move the head toward the inner diameter of the disk and stopping the head before it reaches the inner diameter of the disk. The VCM is then controlled to move the head toward the outer diameter of the disk until the actuator arm unloads onto a ramp.

摘要： A disk drive is disclosed that estimates a sinusoidal error in a wedge time period due to eccentricity in the disk rotating to generate eccentricity compensation values. During a write operation a head is positioned over a target data sector within a target track, a write clock frequency is set using an eccentricity compensation value corresponding to the target data sector, and data is written to the target data sector using the write clock frequency. In this manner, the eccentricity compensation value adjusts the write clock frequency to better optimize the linear bit density from the inner to outer diameter tracks.

摘要： A disk drive is disclosed wherein a BEMF speed error is measured during a BEMF spindle speed control mode, and a spindle control current is updated in response to the BEMF speed error to drive the disk at an operating speed. A reference time period (RTP) is calibrated, and a sinusoidal error in a wedge time period (WTP) due to eccentricity in the disk rotating is estimated to generate an eccentricity compensation value. After switching to a wedge spindle speed control mode, an actual WTP is detected and a wedge speed error is generated in response to the RTP, the detected actual WTP, and the eccentricity compensation value. The disk is then maintained at the operating speed by updating the spindle control current in response to the wedge speed error.

摘要： A method is disclosed for adaptive learning of fundamental-frequency repeatable runout (1FRRO) compensation information in a disk drive. The disk drive includes a transducer head, a magnetic disk having a plurality of concentric data tracks defined by embedded servo wedges that provide position information, and a control system. In the method, 1FRRO compensation information is learned over a predetermined minimum number of disk revolutions. After the predetermined minimum number of disk revolutions, the 1FRRO compensation information is monitored for convergence while learning of the 1FRRO compensation information continues. Learning is terminated upon detection of convergence of the 1FRRO compensation information.

摘要： A disk drive and method for estimating a sinusoidal error in a wedge time period is disclosed. An estimated WTP is calculated according to: EST_WTP=RTP+â*cos(2πk/N)+{circumflex over (b)}*sin(2πk/N) wherein RTP is a reference time period corresponding to a nominal WTP, k is an index representing a servo wedge, and {â,{circumflex over (b)}} are adjustable coefficients. A wedge time error e(k) is estimated as the difference between the estimated WTP and a detected actual WTP. The coefficients {â,{circumflex over (b)}} for generating the estimated WTP are adjusted according to: â(k+1)=â(k)−G*e(k)*cos(2πk/N) {circumflex over (b)}(k+1)={circumflex over (b)}(k)−G*e(k)*sin(2πk/N) wherein G is a predetermined gain.
