  • Patent number: 6351342
    Abstract: A servo system positions a transducer over a disc surface in a disc drive system. Disc surfaces in the drive each have a plurality of spaced servo samples recorded thereon. The servo samples on at least two of the disc surfaces are recorded in skewed relation to one another. A plurality of transducers are provided and one transducer is associated with each one of the plurality of disc surfaces. An actuator arm assembly is coupled to the transducers to move the transducers relative to the disc surfaces. A servo control system is coupled to the actuator arm assembly to control position of the actuator arm assembly. The servo control system includes a reader configured to read servo samples from at least two disc surfaces such that at least two servo samples are read within one servo time period.

  • Patent number: 4677507
    Abstract: A high velocity seek deceleration technique is disclosed for seek operations of disk drives wherein measured time per track is compared to a predetermined time per track in a memory as indexed by number of tracks to end of seek determines an error value which adjusts a deceleration amplifier. The gain of digital output to the amplifier is adjusted depending on the number of tracks to end of seek, the higher the number, the higher the gain. Further, a variable bandwidth filter is employed to increase bandwidth as velocity decreases.

  • Patent number: 4400654
    Abstract: A digital control system is provided to regulate the speed of a brushless DC motor via pulse-width modulation. Digital counters are used to measure the difference between the time for a motor revolution and a reference time. This time difference is in turn used to control the time until the application of power during a fixed period. A motor speed decrease increases the difference in time between a motor revolution and the reference time. This decreases the power pulse delay time and results in an increased power-on time to bring the motor back up to nominal speed.
