    Abstract: An apparatus includes a clamp control circuit configured to control a first current to have a magnitude substantially equal to that of a second current when the second current has a first flow direction. The clamp control circuit is configured to control the first current to be substantially zero when the second current has a second flow direction. A method includes determining a value of a first current, controlling a second current to have a substantially zero value when the first current flows in a first direction, and controlling the second current to have a magnitude substantially equal to that of the first current when the first current flows in a second direction. The first current flows in the first direction when a winding of a motor is being supplied with energy and flows in the second direction when the winding of the motor is discharging energy.

    Abstract: A system including memory to store a plurality of sets of values, where each set is used to control speed of a different type of motor. A pulse width modulation (PWM) module receives an input indicating a type of motor sensed in the system, selects a set corresponding to the type of the sensed motor, and generates, based on the selected set, a pulse width modulation signal to control speed of the sensed motor. A speed module receives a requested speed for the sensed motor and generates an output indicating a range of speed corresponding to the requested speed. The PWM module selects, based on the range of speed, a value from the selected set; shifts, based on the selected value, the pulse width modulation signal; and adjusts, based on the shifted pulse width modulation signal, the speed of the sensed motor by adjusting torque applied to the sensed motor.

    Abstract: A hard disk drive enters a low power mode to reduce power consumption. To maintain communication with a host device, a communication interface remains energized along with a circuit portion storing configuration data for the communication interface. To energize the communication interface and the circuit portion, low power voltage regulators provide suitable reference voltages. One low power voltage regulator is dedicated to this purpose. Another voltage regulator is converted from an active, switching mode to a low power, linear mode to provide the necessary reference voltage. Also, unique handshaking signals are used to control entry and exit from the low power mode by the hard disk drive.
