    摘要: A disk drive is disclosed comprising a disk having a plurality of servo bursts written using perpendicular magnetic recording, wherein each servo burst is written at a servo burst frequency. A fill pattern is written between the servo bursts using perpendicular magnetic recording at a frequency substantially equal to an even harmonic of the servo burst frequency, and a phase shift occurs at the transition between the servo burst and the fill pattern. A head is actuated over the disk, and a sampling device samples a read signal emanating from the head to generate a sequence of read signal sample values. Control circuitry demodulates the servo bursts from the sequence of read signal sample values by computing a single-point Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) at the servo burst frequency.

    摘要: A method and apparatus is disclosed for adjusting the track density by changing the slope of spiral tracks used to servo write a disk drive. A target track density is established for a disk surface, and a plurality of spiral tracks are written to the disk surface in response to the target track density. Each spiral track comprises a high frequency signal interrupted at a predetermined interval by a sync mark, and a slope of the spiral tracks is selected in response to the target track density. The head internal to the disk drive is used to read the spiral tracks in order to write product servo sectors to the disk to define a plurality of data tracks, wherein the slope of the spiral tracks determines the density of the data tracks.

    摘要: A method and apparatus is disclosed for adjusting the track density over the disk radius by changing the slope of spiral tracks used to servo write a disk drive. A plurality of spiral tracks are written to the disk wherein each spiral track comprises a high frequency signal interrupted at a predetermined interval by a sync mark. A slope of the spiral tracks over a first radial segment of the disk is substantially steeper than the slope of the spiral tracks over a second radial segment of the disk. The head internal to the disk drive is used to read the spiral tracks in order to write product servo sectors to the disk to define a plurality of data tracks. The steeper slope of the spiral tracks over the first radial segment causes a track density of the data tracks to be lower over the first radial segment compared to the track density of the data tracks over the second radial segment.

    摘要: A magnetic disk drive having a reduction in repeatable runout (RRO) effects is disclosed. The disk drive has a head disk assembly (HDA) and a sampled servo controller. The HDA includes a rotating magnetic disk, an actuator, and a transducer head. The magnetic disk has a plurality of embedded servo sectors for storing servo information including repeatable runout (RRO) cancellation values and RRO cancellation value error correction code (ECC) data at a servo data rate. The RRO cancellation value ECC data is only for detecting and correcting errors in the RRO cancellation values. In between the embedded servo sectors are data sectors for storing user data at a user data rate that is different from the servo data rate. The actuator positions the transducer head in response to a control effort signal generated by the sampled servo controller based on the servo information.

    摘要: A method of writing product servo sectors to a disk of a disk drive is disclosed. An external spiral servo writer writes a plurality of spiral tracks to the disk by actuating in a closed loop system a head positioning pin inserted into the disk drive. Each spiral track comprises a high frequency signal interrupted at a predetermined interval by a sync mark. The high frequency signal and sync marks in the spiral tracks are demodulated to maintain synchronization of a servo write clock as well as maintain the head along a circular target path while writing product servo sectors to the disk.

    摘要: A disk drive is disclosed including a disk having a first and second set of time-based servo patterns. The first set of time-based servo patterns comprises a first cyclical pattern that repeats radially over the disk, and the second set of time-based servo patterns comprises a second cyclical pattern that repeats radially over the disk, wherein each cyclical pattern comprises a plurality of timing marks. One of the first cyclical patterns overlaps at least part of a first servo track, and one of the second cyclical patterns overlaps at least part of the first servo track. At least one of the first and second set of time-based servo patterns are demodulated by detecting first and second time intervals relative to the timing marks, and a control signal for actuating the head is generated in response to the first and second time intervals.
