    • A floppy disk drive is disclosed which is for use with a host system capable of connecting its own power supply to the disk drive when its operation is needed, and disconnecting the power supply from the disk drive when its operation is not needed. The disk drive includes a stepper motor for moving a data transducer from track to track on a rotating magnetic disk, and a track counter for ascertaining the radial position of the transducer on the disk by counting the stepping pulses fed from the host system to a stepper motor control circuit. In order to maintain the count of the track counter despite power suspension, the track counter is connected to a supply terminal of the disk drive via a reverse blocking diode, and a capacitor is connected between the diode and ground. The track counter is therefore fed from the capacitor when the disk drive is disconnected from the power supply of the host system. Preferably, the count of the track counter when the disk drive is disconnected from the power supply may be temporarily stored on an electrically erasable, programmable read only memory, and the stored count may be returned to and preset on the track counter when the disk drive is subsequently powered on.
    • 公开了一种软盘驱动器,其用于在需要其操作时能够将其自身的电源连接到磁盘驱动器的主机系统,以及当不需要其操作时将电源从磁盘驱动器断开。 磁盘驱动器包括用于将数据传感器从轨道到轨道上移动到旋转磁盘上的步进电机,以及用于通过将从主机系统馈送到步进电机的步进脉冲计数来确定换能器在盘上的径向位置的轨道计数器 电机控制电路。 为了保持轨道计数器的计数,尽管电源暂停,轨道计数器通过反向阻塞二极管连接到磁盘驱动器的电源端子,电容器连接在二极管和地之间。 因此,当磁盘驱动器与主机系统的电源断开连接时,轨道计数器从电容器馈送。 优选地,当磁盘驱动器与电源断开时,轨道计数器的计数可以临时存储在电可擦除的可编程只读存储器上,并且当盘驱动器可以将存储的计数返回到并预设在轨道计数器上 随后打开电源。

    • A flexible magnetic disk drive is disclosed which has a stepper motor coupled to a data transducer via a steel belt motion translating mechanism for moving the transducer from track to track on the rotating disk in response to stepping pulses and a stepping direction signal from an external host system. In order to save power, the stepper motor is held deenergized while the disk drive motor is out of rotation, with the consequent possibility that the transducer may be displaced from the required track position on the disk while the stepper motor is held deenergized. Therefore, in order to always memorize the latest of the successive destination tracks commanded by the host system, a forward/backward counter is provided which counts the external stepping pulses in either direction depending upon the binary state of the external stepping direction signal. After the disk drive motor is set into rotation, stepping pulses and an stepping direction signal are generated internally for causing the stepper motor to automatically reposition the transducer on the memorized latest destination track.
    • 公开了一种柔性磁盘驱动器,其具有经由钢带运动转换机构耦合到数据传感器的步进电机,用于响应于步进脉冲和来自外部主机的步进方向信号将转换器从轨道移动到旋转盘上 系统。 为了节省电力,步进电动机在磁盘驱动电动机不能旋转的同时保持断电,从而随着步进电动机被断电而使换能器从盘上所需轨道位置移位的可能性。 因此,为了始终存储由主机系统指令的连续的目的地轨迹的最新,提供了前向/后向计数器,其根据外部步进方向信号的二进制状态对任一方向的外部步进脉冲进行计数。 在磁盘驱动电动机转动之后,内部产生步进脉冲和步进方向信号,使步进电动机自动地将换能器重新定位在存储的最新目的地轨道上。

    • A microcomputer system having a flexible magnetic disk drive and a controller therefor, with the disk drive including a stepper motor for incrementally moving a transducer from track to track on a rotating magnetic disk, and a clock which is inherently unstable in operation during a predefinable startup period thereof after being powered on. In order to enable the disk drive to internally generate stepping pulses for driving the stepper motor at twice as high a rate as by external stepping pulses from the controller without being affected by unstable clock pulses during the startup period of the clock, the controller supplies external stepping pulses to the disk drive after imparting a predetermined delay, longer than the startup period of the clock, to each series of external stepping pulses with respect to the moment a power save signal, also supplied from the controller to the disk drive, indicates that the clock and other power consuming parts of the disk drive be powered. Within the disk drive a counter counts the clock pulses for a length of time equal to half the period of each series of external stepping pulses in response to each incoming external stepping pulse, thereby providing output pulses that rise with the respective external stepping pulses. A pulse generator circuit generates internal stepping pulses in synchronism with both leading and trailing edges of the counter output pulses. Additional embodiments are disclosed.

    • A system for infallibly positioning a transducer on Track Zero on a flexible magnetic disk in the face of possible sensing errors by an optical Track Zero sensor customarily build into a disk drive. The transducer has not been correctly recalibrated if it has been positioned, when the disk drive is powered on, on an invalid track existing, either virtually or actually, immediately radially outwardly of Track Zero and if the disk drive is connected to a host that commands recalibration merely by causing transducer travel radially outwardly of the disk. A recalibration control circuit is therefore provided which cancels the host command and which, instead, causes the transducer to travel a predetermined distance radially inwardly of the disk and then to travel radially outwardly until the Track Zero sensor indicates again that the transducer is positioned on Track Zero.

    • A power saving system for a flexible magnetic disk drive utilizes a power save signal supplied from a host system. When the power save signal indicates that the disk drive is standing by, a power saving circuit holds unpowered desired components of the disk drive such as a disk drive motor circuit, stepper motor circuit, read/write circuit and sensor circuits. The power saving circuit is constructed to permit the transducer to be recalibrated on a reference track on the disk only when the disk drive is turned on, but to inhibit such recalibration when the power save signal indicates the end of standby, thereby avoiding waste of power.
