摘要： A disk drive is disclosed comprising a head actuated over a disk, and a spindle motor for rotating the disk, the spindle motor comprising a plurality of windings. During a spin-up operation a sinusoidal driving voltage is applied to each winding of the spindle motor. A back electromotive force (BEMF) voltage generated by at least one of the windings is measured, and a rotation speed of the spindle motor is measured. The sinusoidal driving voltage is adjusted in order to optimize a lead angle relative to the rotation speed, wherein the lead angle represents a degree the sinusoidal driving voltage leads the BEMF voltage.

摘要： A disk drive is discloses comprising a disk, a head connected to a distal end of an actuator arm, and a voice coil motor (VCM) for rotating the actuator arm about a pivot in order to actuate the head radially over the disk. If when a power failure occurs the radial location of the head is less than a predetermined distance from the outer diameter of the disk, the VCM is controlled to move the head toward the inner diameter of the disk and stopping the head before it reaches the inner diameter of the disk. The VCM is then controlled to move the head toward the outer diameter of the disk until the actuator arm unloads onto a ramp.

A head connected to a distal end of an actuator arm is rotated about a pivot by a voice coil motor (VCM) in order to actuate the head radially over the disk.

摘要： A disk drive is disclosed comprising a disk, a head, an actuator arm for actuating the head radially over the disk during a seek operation, and a voice coil motor (VCM) for rotating the actuator arm about a pivot, the VCM comprising a coil comprising a VCM resistance R. A back EMF voltage detector measures a back EMF voltage across the coil, and a current detector detects a current I flowing through the coil. An IR voltage detector, responsive to the current I detected by the current detector, detects an IR voltage proportional to the current I times the VCM resistance R. A voltage compensator substantially cancels the IR voltage from the measured back EMF voltage to generate a compensated back EMF voltage. A control voltage generator, responsive the compensated back EMF voltage, generates a control voltage applied to the coil to generate the current I flowing through the coil. A memory stores a first compensated back EMF voltage generated at a first time period of the seek operation. A comparator compares the first compensated back EMF voltage stored in the memory to a second compensated back EMF voltage generated at a second time period of the seek operation. A calibrator, responsive to the comparator, calibrates the IR voltage detector.

A signal generator generates a periodic signal, the periodic signal for periodically grounding the windings during the spin down mode in order to boost the internal supply voltage, wherein grounding the windings applies a braking torque to the spindle motor. A plurality of current detectors is provided, wherein each current detector for measuring a current flowing through a respective one of the switching elements. A current limit circuit generates a control signal which prevents the periodic signal from grounding the windings if the current flowing through any one of the switching elements exceeds a predetermined threshold.

摘要： A disk drive employs a method of operating a spindle motor to respond to a spin-down command to reduce the time required for subsequently responding to a spin-up command. After receiving the spin-down command, and while the rotor continues to spin in the forward-spin direction, a state machine is set to and maintained in a first predetermined register state such that a controlled rotor-stopping operation is performed. At the end of the controlled rotor-stopping operation, the rotor angle is within the range of a peaked forward direction waveform for a second predetermined register state of the state machine.
