摘要:
A disk drive system is described which includes a disk having a magnetic surface and a motor for rotating the disk, a magnetic head being movable relative to said magnetic surface. The motor generates a back electromotive force voltage having different phases and the system comprising a plurality of switches for switching the back electromotive force voltage, a control circuit to control the plurality of switches to supply the back electromotive force voltage to direct the head to a parking position. The system also comprises a comparator adapted to compare a single phase of the back electromotive force voltage with the sum of the other phases of the back electromotive force voltage. The comparator generates an output signal representative of the comparation and the system comprises a logic block controlled by the output signal of the comparator. The logic block is adapted to determine time periods and a control sequence of the switches which is associated to the time periods. The control sequence is supplied to the control circuit so that the last generates control signals to control the plurality of switches.
摘要:
A disk drive may include a housing, and a rotatable data storage disk and associated disk drive motor carried by the housing for rotating the rotatable data storage disk. The disk drive may also include a movable arm and associated arm drive motor carried by the housing for moving the arm adjacent to the rotatable data storage disk. Further, at least one read/write head may be carried by the arm, and a driving circuit may be included for the arm drive motor. The driving circuit may include at least one output stage connected to a power supply for driving the arm drive motor, at least one capacitor connected to the power supply, and an auxiliary pulse width modulation (PWM) control circuit connected to the at least one capacitor for driving the at least one output stage in a PWM mode after the power supply is switched off.
