    摘要: A method and apparatus is disclosed for adaptively controlling the biasing current applied to magnetoresistive (MR) read heads within a magnetic disk drive to provide optimized bias for each head/disk/channel component combination. An optimized bias current for each head is ascertained and stored on the disk surface at the time of manufacture. During each power up operation the values are transferred to random access memory which is accessed during the execution of each head switch command to apply bias current in accordance with the optimized value to the active MR head. Periodic reoptimization and updating of the stored values is effected by general error measurement circuitry that forms a part of the device control system and is invoked to perform the reoptimization upon the occurrence of an event such as a predetermined duration of power on operation subsequent to the last reoptimization procedure.

    摘要: A self servo writing file and method for writing servo patterns in a direct access storage device are provided. First servo information is written on a data storage media at a first crash stop. The transducer heads are moved offset from the written servo information while reading the last written servo information until the detected servo signal equals a predetermined value. Then servo information is written on the data storage media responsive to the detected servo signal equal to the predetermined value. The moving and writing steps are sequentially repeated until a second crash stop is reached. A quad-burst servo amplitude pattern or phase pattern can be used for the servo information. The servo writing method is adapted easily for many different servo options. When the file uses a hybrid servo or sector servo, the other surfaces can be written by duplicating the servo bursts with a high bandwidth servo system of the file. Alternatively, the servo writing steps can be repeated for each of the other surfaces for providing head dependent pitch. Variable track pitch can be provided by selectively varying the predetermined value compared with the detected servo signal.

    摘要: A multipath channel apparatus for a data storage device wherein data is stored on a storage medium and is read from the storage medium by a transducer or for a data communications system wherein data is transmitted to a receiver. A data channel having a plurality of data paths is operatively connected to the transducer to receive data read from the storage medium by the transducer, or operatively connected to receive data demodulated by the receiver or base band data received by the receiver. Preferably, each of the data paths has a differing parameter value. An error checking unit checks customer and redundancy data from each of the data paths. A selecting unit, which is responsive to the error checking unit, selects data from one of the data paths. In a preferred embodiment, the data stored on a storage medium includes a data field and an error correcting code field, and the customer and redundancy data from each of the data paths is checked using a calculated error correcting code sydrome.

    摘要: Apparatus and method of data recovery are provided for data detection in a partial-response (PR) data channel. The PR data channel includes an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for providing digital samples of a readback data signal and a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) timing control coupled to the ADC. A data recovery procedure (DRP) is established responsive to a detected readback error. Using amplitude offset circuitry, amplitude of the readback data signal is selectively adjusted responsive to the detected readback error; and using gain control, a correction current applied to the VCO timing control is changed responsive to the detected readback error.

    摘要: A dedicated servo transducer head for phase skewed position information signals in servo information tracks of a rigid magnetic disk drive unit has a width spanning up to eight servo information tracks in order to overcome problems in gain irregularity caused by abrupt phase jumps between tracks. An embodiment of the invention includes a track reading surface that varies in sensitivity across the width of the head to avoid gain loss during incremental radial movement with head edges overlying track edge fringes.

    摘要: A simplified structure for a single track read/write head design is disclosed. The design incorporates a simplified write coil structure and an improved and simplified combined magnetic bias and sensor current structure. The active sensing current is utilized both to create an anti-parallel magnetic vector couple in a coupled film magneto resistive sensor and to magnetically bias or torque the anti-parallel couple so that magnetization within the sensor films lies at an angle with the easy magnetic axis. Sensor current is fed in series through an electro-magnetic coil wrapped about the magneto resistive sensor so that sense current simultaneously creates an anti-parallel magnetic vector couple in the sensor and generates an electromagnetic bias field to torque the anti-parallel couple at an angle with the easy axis of magnetization. An improved spirally laid-out planar deposited writing flux coil is positioned about the writing electromagnetic core which greatly simplifies fabrication steps in making the device.
