    摘要: A data storage device is disclosed comprising a head actuated over a disk, and a spindle motor configured to rotate the disk, wherein the spindle motor comprises a plurality of windings. The windings of the spindle motor are commutated based on a commutation sequence while applying a driving voltage to each winding, wherein the driving voltage comprises an operating polarity during normal operation. When a supply voltage falls below a threshold while the spindle motor is rotating the disk, the spindle motor is configured into a power generator by at least reversing the polarity of the driving voltage for an interval and then reversing the polarity of the driving voltage back to the operating polarity.

    摘要: Provided is a storage apparatus that prevents impossible to communicate a hard disk and a CPU by the instantaneous power failure of a low voltage power supply. An effective value reduction detecting circuit transmits a detection signal, when the voltage of a low voltage power supply is lower than specific voltage. CPU memorizes time t1 to a flash memory. Also, CPU memorizes time t2, when recovering low voltage power supply 13 on proper voltage. Then, CPU computes period of time T, which is time between time t1 and t2. If the computed period of time T is within a range from first period of time T1 to the second period of time T2, CPU operates a voltage switch and re-supply the power supply to the hard disk. If not within the range, CPU does not re-supplying power to the hard disk.

    摘要: A data storage device is disclosed comprising a spindle motor configured to rotate a disk, wherein the spindle motor comprises a plurality of windings. The windings are commutated based on a commutation sequence while applying a driving voltage to each winding, wherein the driving voltage comprises an operating amplitude during normal operation. When a supply voltage falls below a threshold, the spindle motor is configured into a power generator by at least reducing the amplitude of the driving voltage to substantially zero and then incrementally increasing the amplitude of the driving voltage by at least two steps toward the operating amplitude.

    摘要: Applicant has recognized and appreciated the desirability of powering an actuator using power drawn from one or both of an energy storage device and a spindle motor. In some embodiments, following a loss of external power to a hard disk drive, the hard disk drive (or one or more components thereof) determines whether to provide the actuator with power drawn from the spindle motor or to provide the actuator with power drawn from the spindle motor and from the energy storage device. In some embodiments, the hard disk drive (or the component(s) thereof) may additionally or alternatively determine whether to charge the energy storage device using power drawn from the spindle motor. In some embodiments, the drive may make the determinations based on an amount of power that the actuator is to consume at a time and an amount of power that the spindle motor can provide at the time.

    摘要: A management apparatus is described of a rotating motor and a load during power loss; the apparatus comprises a first switching circuit coupled with the rotating motor and a controller of said first switching circuit. The controller is configured to drive the first switching circuit so as to convert a back-electromotive force voltage developed in the rotating motor into a power supply voltage for the load. The first switching circuit is driven in accordance with a first duty cycle. The apparatus comprises a second switching circuit coupled with the load and driven in accordance with a second duty cycle. The controller is configured to vary said first and said second duty cycles to keep the power supply voltage for the load above or equal to a threshold voltage.
