摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention help to precisely control the clearance between a head and disk for the pressure without using a barometric sensor. In an embodiment of the present invention, an HDD determines a clearance from variations in operational parameters, and further determines a variation in pressure by deducting the clearance variation caused by a variation in temperature from the clearance. When the HDD controls the clearance in accordance with the pressure change, the HDD checks for head-disk contact. The accuracy and reliability in pressure measurement (clearance measurement) using operational parameters are not high. Therefore, confirming the pressure measurement by the presence or absence of head-disk contact eliminates head-disk contact in the following read/write operation to attain a securer margin for the clearance.

Embodiments of the present invention help to detect contact between a head and a magnetic disk more accurately in specifying a heater power value for adjusting a clearance between a head element portion and the disk. According to one embodiment, a hard disk controller/multiprocessing unit (HDC/MPU) measures amplitudes of read signals in a user data field DATA. A hard disk drive (HDD) fills a gap between servo data with single data sector. The HDC/MPU measures the amplitudes of read signals in each data sector at different heater power values. It determines the heater power value at which contact occurs from the measured values.

Embodiment of the invention provides a magnetic disk drive that may suppress the decrease of a recording region by preventing a magnetic head slider from abutting a magnetic disk at the time of loading, and suppress the degradation of the flying characteristics. In one embodiment a magnetic disk drive of the present invention is provided with a magnetic head slider including a magnetic transducer, a ramp that unloads the magnetic head slider, and an actuator that moves the magnetic head slider. The magnetic head slider includes a rail surface that generates a positive pressure on an air-bearing surface, a step bearing surface, and a taper section that is formed to a slider corner section that is brought closest to the surface of a recording disk at the time of loading with a space from the rail surface and the step bearing surface.

A compact hard disk drive that operates silently at a low power consumption needs a suspension assembly that places a low load on the magnetic head. In one embodiment, a suspension assembly comprises a head arm mounted on a carriage shaft, a load beam capable of placing load on a magnetic head and serving as a beam, and a flexure assembly. The flexure assembly includes a flexure formed by processing a thin metal sheet, an insulating layer laminated to the flexure, a wiring pattern formed on the insulating layer, and a protective layer coating the wiring pattern. The flexure has a flexible part for placing load on the magnetic head, a gimbals to which the magnetic head is attached, and a base part attached to the head arm. The elastic part of the flexure generates a very load in the range of about 0.5 to about 1 g.

摘要:
In an input/output control system: a read/write operation for a control register (REG) under a program mode is achieved by hardware; the system is started or stopped under the control of firmware, and a data transfer in the system is achieved under the control of hardware. Therefore, a high speed data communication is realized, via the system, between a central control unit (CC) and an input/output unit (IO).
