摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a magnetic recording apparatus capable of generating RRO compensation information that can expand the disturbance frequency range in which to compensate for RRO. Embodiments of the present invention describe a magnetic recording apparatus that uses a plurality of repetitive control systems to detect repeatable runout during the rotation of a magnetic recording medium for a frequency characteristic of each of the repetitive control systems. The magnetic recording apparatus further generates compensation information to compensate for each of the detected repeatable runout. The magnetic recording apparatus still further writes the compensation information generated for each of the repetitive control systems to a servo signal, thus suppressing and controlling the repeatable runout.

Embodiments of the present invention help to achieve a read error recovery, and suppress decreases in the capacity of the disk drive device and degradation in performance. In one embodiment, a hard disk drive (HDD) performs following control without use of repeatable run-out (RRO) compensation information on a magnetic disk in a normal reading process. When an error occurs in a normal reading process, the HDD moves a read element to a position different from a target position of the normal reading process. At the position where the read element has been moved, the read element reads out the RRO compensation information. In a recovery procedure for the reading process where the error has occurred, the HDD performs following control with compensation by the servo compensation information read out by the read element.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a magnetic disk drive capable of easily suppressing degradation of position error caused by disturbance resulting from vibration from the outside. According to one embodiment, the magnetic disk drive acquires, during a period of time of track following control, data necessary for determining a filtering characteristic required to newly be specified in a peak filter; in association with the start of subsequent seek control, determines the filtering characteristic required to be specified in the peak filter; and specifies the determined filtering characteristic in the peak filter.

Embodiments in accordance with the present invention provide a magnetic disk drive with reduced noise during seek operation without causing any delay in control response. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a control circuit of a magnetic disk drive controls the drive power supplied to a voice coil motor during a seek operation adapted to move a magnetic head over a target track formed on a magnetic disk so as to bring the travel speed of the magnetic head close to a predetermined target speed. The control circuit determines a provisional current according to the difference between the predetermined target speed and an actual travel speed in an acceleration zone adapted to accelerate the magnetic head to the predetermined target speed. If the provisional current exceeds a limit specified in relation to an elapsed time from the start of acceleration, the control circuit sets the limit as the current of the drive power supplied to the voice coil motor to control the motor.

A hard-disk drive. The hard-disk drive includes a magnetic-recording disk having a plurality of tracks formed thereon. The hard-disk drive also includes a magnetic-recording head configured to be positioned over a target track selected from the plurality of tracks and configured to write data to and to read data from the target track. Moreover, the hard-disk drive includes a range-definer configured to define an allowed range of a position error of the magnetic-recording head corresponding to the target track. In addition, the hard-disk drive includes a write-enabler configured to determine whether writing data by the magnetic-recording head is allowed based on the position error of the magnetic-recording head with respect to the target track and the allowed range that is calculated from data read out by the magnetic-recording head.

A servo control system configured to position a head in accordance with position error signals between servo data on a disk read by the head in a servo sampling cycle and a target position. The system includes a plurality of adaptive peak filters connected in parallel configured to filter the position error signals and configured to change filter coefficients adaptively, and an estimator configured to estimate head vibration caused by disturbances using the servo data read by the head. The system further includes a selector configured to select a portion of the plurality of adaptive peak filters at preset occasions, and a setter configured to update coefficient settings of the portion of the adaptive peak filters selected by the selector in accordance with an estimation by the estimator.
