Power Management
Power management features are incorporated into each block of the Spinpoint M8U.
designer to tailor the amount of power management to the specified design.
features include:
•
Independent power management control for each block.
•
DSP block powered down and up when needed.
•
Disk Sequencer and associated disk logic powered up when the Disk Sequencer is started.
•
Weak pull-up structure on input pins to prevent undesirable power consumption due to floating CMOS
inputs.
5.2.3 Read/Write IC
The Read/Write IC, shown in Figure 5-3 provides read/write-processing functions for the drive.
Read/Write IC receives the Read GATE and Write GATE signals, write data, and servo AGC and gates from
the Interface Controller. The Read/Write IC sends decoded read data and the read reference clock.
receives write data from the Interface Controller.
The 88C9310 which is embedded in 88i9322(Rev2.0)is a sampled-data digital PRML channel designed to
work with a disk controller and a read/write preamplifier to provide the signal processing elements required
to build a state of the art high density, high speed disk drive.
PRML Viterbi read channel (supporting) zone-bit recording,
The read/write channel functions include a time base generator, AGC circuitry, asymmetry correction
circuitry (ASC), analog anti-aliasing low-pass filter, analog to digital converter (ADC), digital FIR filter,
timing recovery circuits, Viterbi detector, sync mark detection, 30/32 rate block code ENDEC, serializer and
de-serializer, and write pre-compensation circuits.

Additionally the 88C9310 contains specialized circuitry to perform various parametric
measurements on the processed read signal.
capability in every drive built using the 88C9310.
A 10-bit NRZ interface is provided to support high speed data transfers and from the controller.
Programming of the 88C9310 is performed through a serial interface.
read various channel parameters that are computed on the fly.
5.2.3.1
Time Base Generator
The time base generator provides the write frequency and serves as a reference clock to the
synchronizer during non-read mode.
5.2.3.2
Automatic Gain Control
The AGC accepts a differential signal from the pre-amp, and provide a constant output
amplitude to the analog filter.
5.2.3.3
Asymmetry Correction Circuitry (ASC)
The ASC circuit is designed to correct for amplitude asymmetry introduced by MR heads.
compensation range of this circuit is +/-25%.
independent of the asymmetry effect.
