    摘要: A disc drive includes an apparatus for limiting coil energization current to a programmable value. A current sensor is operatively coupled to a coil and provides a signal which is indicative of current flow through the coil. A configurable voltage source is responsive to a control signal. A current inhibitor is operatively coupled to the output of the current sensor and the voltage source such that the current inhibitor selectively inhibits current flow through the coil based on results of a comparison between the current sensor signal and a voltage supplied by the configurable voltage source. A method of calibrating a current control threshold is also provided as well as a method of controlling the coil energization current.

    摘要: The tape in a data cartridge has a beginning of tape (BOT) zone adjacent a leading end, a load point (LP) zone adjacent the BOT zone, an end of tape (EOT) zone adjacent a trailing end, an early warning (EW) zone adjacent the EOT zone, and a data recording (DR) zone between the LP and EW zones. Servo tracks extending between the BOT and EOT enable the closed-loop servo operation of a tape deck during the recording of data at data flux transition densities within a predetermined range of flux transition densities. A BOT indicator includes a first type magnetic marker extending throughout the BOT zone and has a BOT flux density. An LP indicator includes spaced second type magnetic markers on the servo tracks at the border of the LP and DR zones. An EW indicator which is identical to the LP indicator is located on the servo tracks at the border of the DR and EW zones. An EOT indicator includes a first type marker extending throughout the EOT zone and has an EOT flux density. Digitally encoded cartridge information indicators including the spaced second type markers are located in each of the BOT and EOT zones. The BOT and EOT flux densities are different from one another, and sufficiently different from the data flux transition densities to enable the BOT and EOT indicators to be distinguished from the data. The second type markers of the LP and EW and cartridge information indicators are sufficiently different from the servo carrier flux density to enable the indicators to be distinguished from the servo carrier.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for accelerating a disc drive spindle motor to an operational velocity at which data are transferred between a host device and a disc rotated by the spindle motor. The spindle motor is initially accelerated from rest to an intermediate velocity at which sufficient back electromotive force (bemf) is generated by the rotation of the spindle motor to enable commutation circuitry of the disc drive to time the application of drive pulses to the spindle motor. The spindle motor is subsequently accelerated from the intermediate velocity to the operational velocity by applying a velocity dependent reference profile which establishes a sequence of reference levels to control the flow of current through the spindle motor during acceleration. The sequence of reference levels have different magnitudes at different velocities of the spindle motor between the intermediate velocity and the operational velocity.
