摘要:
A preamplifier circuit is disclosed comprising a data input for receiving write data, a read signal output for outputting an amplified read signal, a read signal input for receiving a read signal from a read element, and a write signal output for supplying a write signal to a write element. The preamplifier circuit further comprises a first amplifier circuit, responsive to the write data, for generating the write signal supplied to the write element, and a second amplifier circuit for amplifying the read signal from the read element to generate the amplified read signal output via the read signal output. A head control circuit, responsive to head select data, simultaneously enables the first and second amplifier circuits to perform a simultaneous read and write operation.
摘要:
The present invention may be regarded as a self-servo writing disk drive comprising a head having a read element radially offset from a write element. During a first time interval, the read element is positioned over a first radial location to read first A clock data to generate first circumferential timing information and first A servo bursts to generate first position control information. The first position control information is used for positioning the write element over a second radial location, and the first circumferential timing information is used for writing second B clock data and second B servo bursts to the second radial location. During a second time interval, the read element is positioned over the first radial location to read first B clock data to generate second circumferential timing information and first B servo bursts to generate second position control information. The second position control information is used for positioning the write element over the second radial location, and the second circumferential timing information is used for writing second A clock data and second A servo bursts to the second radial location.

A tachometer for generating a velocity signal in a data disc pack servo system comprising a sampling pulse generator for producing pulses that are spaced from one another by a constant amount representative of a distance increment of radial movement of a servo head in the system, a timer for measuring the time between the sampling pulses, the timer including a clock pulse source and a counter which is started by one sampling pulse and reset by the next succeeding sampling pulse so that the digital output thereof is proportional to time and a computer for computing average velocity by deriving the quotient of the distance increment divided by the time required for the servo head to traverse such distance increment.
