摘要:
A detection circuit in a magnetic recording and playback apparatus which uses partial response and the maximum likelihood method, in which neither the size of the detection circuit nor the power consumption increase when the partial response order n increases. In this detection circuit, in the circuit that detects a signal read out from a head, either a plurality of equalizers for different target equalization waveforms, or a single variable target equalizer is provided. A detector for the waveform output from an equalizer is connected in series with the detector. A plurality of combinations, each formed by an equalizer and a detector, is connected in parallel to the output of a filter, the outputs of the combinations of equalizers and detectors being input to a switching circuit, which is controlled by a switching control means. The switching control means controls the switching circuit so that just one of the combinations of equalizer and detectors is selected as the detector output. If a variable target equalizer, which is capable of generating two or more different types of equalization waveforms, is used as the equalizer, it is possible to reduce the number of equalizers to one.

A Viterbi decoding system includes a characteristic estimator for estimating a characteristic of a system, and an equalizer for receiving an input signal from the system and for equalizing a waveform of the input signal so that an equalized waveform of the input signal is varied based on the characteristic of the system estimated by the characteristic estimator. A Viterbi decoder generates an output signal showing a maximum-likelihood path by using the equalized waveform of the input signal from the equalizer.

A retracting assembly produces a constant torque, in a data zone of a magnetic disk, which is greater than static friction of a bearing for a rotary actuator. However, in a parking zone on an outer portion of the magnetic disk, the retracting assembly generates a torque which suddenly increases so that a large holding torque is obtained and a magnetic head is reliably locked.

A connector (42) connected to the electronic circuit is fixed to the outside portion of the housing (21). The electronic circuit preferably contains a read/write circuit (36) and a control circuit (38). The housing (21) preferably includes a lower base (22) and an upper cover (23), and a printed circuit board (14) is disposed along the inner wall of either one, or both, of the base (22) and the cover (23). The outer dimension of the plane of the disk drive is preferably about 85.6 mm.times.54 mm, and typically, the outer thickness is 5 mm. Preferably, one connector (42) is disposed on either one of the minor sides of the housing (21). The connector (42) is disposed at the substantial center of the housing in the direction of its thickness and is fixed to one of the minor sides of the housing (21) which opposes the head assembly with respect to the disk.

摘要:
A magnetic disk storage apparatus comprising a rotary actuator which prevents head positioning error resulting from vibration and impact. Since head positioning error is generated when the enclosure makes rotating movement due to translational vibration input due to vibration, a vibration proof mechanism consisting of a plurality of vibration proof supporting members are provided between the enclosure and frame. The plural vibration proof supporting members are disposed so that the linear moment around the gravity center of the enclosure is balanced against translational external force applied to the enclosure.

A magnetic disk storage apparatus in which a plurality of magnetic head positioners are independently driven with respect to each other. A housing having a sensor secured thereto indirectly senses mechanical vibration of a magnetic disk and issues a sense signal. The mechanical vibration is inevitably caused by a seek operation of a selected magnetic head positioner. Based on the sense signal, a compensating signal is generated in a mechanical vibration follow-up system disposed in the apparatus. The compensating signal is input to a coil of a driving motor of non-selected magnetic head positioners such that the effect of the mechanical vibration on the other positioners is cancelled. Thus, magnetic heads supported by the other positioners do not become off-track.

A spindle motor includes a permanent magnet multipolarized in a circular direction of the permanent magnet. The permanent magnet generates magnetic fluxes in a radial direction of the spindle motor. A core assembly has core pieces, the core pieces respectively including first portions are circularly arranged and face the permanent magnet via a gap, and second portions guide magnetic fluxes in parallel with a rotation axis of the spindle motor. Windings are turned around the second portions of the core assembly and have axes of the windings extending in parallel with the rotation axis of the spindle motor. A yoke magnetically couples the core pieces with each other.

A rotating support apparatus in a disk storage device is provided with a stationary shaft, ball bearings rotatably fitted on the stationary shaft, a rotatable member rotatably supported by and on the ball bearings, and buffer rings superimposed between the associated ball bearings and the rotatable member to absorb a thermal deformation of the rotatable member due to a change in a temperature. The buffer rings have a same coefficient of linear expansion as that of the material of which the rotatable member is made, and each of the buffer rings is in contact, at two points of the outer inner surfaces thereof, with the rotatable member or outer races of the ball bearings, and at one point of the inner or outer surface thereof, with the associated ball bearing or the inner surface of the hub, respectively.
