    摘要: A fast settling servo control method and apparatus for a hard disc drive and a method and apparatus estimate an acceleration coefficient of a voice coil motor (VCM) actuator suitable for the settling servo control method and apparatus for disc drives, which allow a head to stably and rapidly move to a target track when a track seek operation is performed in the hard disk drive. The settling servo control apparatus includes a state estimator which estimates position information of a head, velocity information of the head, voice coil motor (VCM) current information, and external disturbance information based on a position error signal (PES); a feedback gain multiplier which respectively multiplies the position information of the head and the velocity information of the head by predetermined feedback control gains each and outputs the multiplication results as feedback control inputs; a pulse generator which generates a pulse signal used for cancellation of slow poles with reference to at least one of initial VCM current information, initial external disturbance information, and previous control input information as well as initial position information of a head and initial velocity information of the head; and an adder which sums the feedback control inputs, the external disturbance information, and the pulse signal generated from the pulse generator and outputs the summation result to a voice coil motor (VCM) actuator as a control input.

The disk drive includes a circuit that provides a control signal to the voice coil motor to move the head. The circuit also has a state predictor and an inversion filter that compute a vibration estimate used to detect a vibration in the drive. When a threshold vibration is detected a vibration estimate is combined with the control signal to compensate for the vibration. The circuit detects the vibration without the need for an accelerometer or other sensor.

    摘要: A hard disk drive with a circuit that provides a current to a voice coil motor to move a head over a disk in a seek routine. The disk has track boundaries with discontinuities in track addresses. The circuit includes a state estimator that predicts a next state of the head. The state estimator sets an estimation error to zero when the head is over one of the track boundaries. The estimator then computes a predicted position that is used in a feed forward servo loop to generate a drive current. The drive current is provided to the voice coil motor to move the head across the disk.

    摘要: A hard disk drive with a voice coil motor controlled by a circuit. The circuit provides a driving current to the voice coil motor to move a head of the drive in a seek routine. The seek routine includes a settle mode that has an initial state and a velocity versus head position eigenvector. The eigenvector is changed to coincide with on the initial state when the seek routine enters the settle mode. Changing the eigenvector to coincide with the initial state induces a head velocity and movement with minimal overshoot or undershoot during the settle mode.

    摘要: A control algorithm compensates for a bias force disturbance and a runout disturbance of an actuator by means of a state feedback to decrease the number of the design parameters, thereby simplifying the design process. A compensation system for the disturbances includes a state variable calculating device for receiving a discrete feedback input signal representative of an actual position of a magnetic head mounted on a front end of the actuator, so as to generate state variables; a differentiating device for differentiating the discrete feedback input signal to generate a velocity signal; and a state feedback control device for receiving the state variables, the velocity signal and the discrete feedback input signal, so as to generate a discrete control input signal to be applied to the actuator.

    摘要: A hard disk drive with a circuit that provides a control signal to a voice coil motor to move a head across a disk of a drive. The circuit includes a state estimator that provides a plurality of state estimates and a disturbance estimator that provides a disturbance estimate that is combined with the state estimates to define the control signal. The disturbance estimator compensates for flex cable disturbances, particularly during a settle mode of a seek routine.
