摘要:
A head position detecting method and apparatus for detecting a phase difference from servo data on a recording medium to detect the position of a head. This head position detecting method and apparatus detect the phase differences between the read pulse of the servo data read by the head and reference clocks, and average the phase differences to detect the head position. A training area having a timing signal recorded therein is provided before the servo data on the recording medium. A phase-lock loop circuit for generating reference clocks is synchronized with the timing signal to accurately detect the phase differences. An integrator is used to average the phase differences. This design ensures accurate detection of the head position even under fast seek. Further, a phase difference signal around a target cylinder is obtained by selecting the phase of the reference clock in accordance with the position of the target cylinder.

A resonance-frequency measuring method is used for measuring a resonance frequency of an information recording/reproducing device reproducing information recorded on a medium by driving a mechanism unit. The resonance-frequency measuring method comprises the measuring step of applying sine-wave oscillations at different frequencies one by one to the mechanism unit, and counting the number of times information reproduced upon application of each of the sine-wave oscillations differs from information indicating an aimed location, and the resonance-frequency determining step of determining the resonance frequency according to the number of times counted in the measuring step.

In a magnetic disk unit, a magnetic head to be activated is switched from a first magnetic head to a second magnetic head in accordance with an instruction supplied from a host system in a state where a plurality of magnetic heads are positioned at a cylinder on magnetic disks. The magnetic disk unit includes a digital servo controller for monitoring at predetermined intervals whether or not the instruction for the changing of the magnetic head is supplied from the host system, a first output circuit for outputting a first signal for a predetermined time from a time at which the digital servo controller recognizes that the instruction for the changing of the magnetic head is supplied from the host system, and a second output circuit for outputting a second signal at least from a time at which the instruction for the changing of the magnetic head is input to the magnetic disk unit to a time at which the digital servo controller recognizes that the instruction is supplied from the host system. The first signal and the second signal indicate that the magnetic disk unit is busy adjusting the plurality of magnetic heads so that an off-track error of the second magnetic head is cancelled.

An automatic adjustment system for a servo circuit of a magnetic disk apparatus having a magnetic head, a position signal preparing circuit, a speed control unit, and a position control unit. An automatic adjustment method includes monitoring a core width adjustment of the position signal while engaged in a uniform speed seek operation and adjusting a detection sensitivity of the position signal preparing circuit so that an angle of slope of the position signal becomes a predetermined value, measuring a forward/reverse seek operation time of the time between a forward seek operation and a reverse seek operation and adjusting a speed detecting offset of the speed control unit so that a difference between the forward seek operation time and the reverse seek operation time becomes minimal. A position control offset adjustment step is provided for measuring an integration value of the position signal during position control in a seek operation and adjusting the offset of the position control unit so that the integration value becomes minimal. The steps of counting a seek operation time and positioning adjustment of the seek operation time, adjusting a differentiation gain of the speed control unit so that the seek operation time becomes minimal, integrating the position signal, and adjusting a control current detection gain of the speed control unit so that the integration value becomes minimal, are also performed.
