  • Page 64: Self-Calibration

    Theory of Device Operation 4.5 Self-calibration The disk drive occasionally performs self-calibration in order to sense and calibrate mechanical external forces on the actuator, and VCM torque. This enables precise seek and read/write operations. 4.5.1 Self-calibration contents (1) Sensing and compensating for external forces The actuator suffers from torque due to the FPC forces and winds accompanying disk revolution.
  • Page 65: Execution Timing Of Self-Calibration

    To compensate torque constant value change depending on cylinder, whole cylinders from most inner to most outer cylinder are divided into 13 partitions at calibration in the factory, and the compensation data is measured for representative cylinder of each partition. This measured value is stored in the SA area.
  • Page 66: Read/Write Circuit

    Theory of Device Operation 4.6 Read/write Circuit The read/write circuit consists of the read/write preamplifier (PreAMP), the write circuit, the read circuit, and the time base generator in the read channel (RDC) block which is integrated into LSI. Figure 4.4 is a block diagram of the read/write circuit.
  • Page 67: Read Circuit

    4.6.3 Read circuit The head read signal from the PreAMP is regulated by the automatic gain control (AGC) circuit. Then the output is converted into the sampled read data pulse by the programmable filter circuit and the flash digitizer circuit. This signal is converted into the read data by the decoder circuit based on the read data maximum-likelihood-detected by the Viterbi detection circuit.
  • Page 68: Servo Control

    Theory of Device Operation 4.7 Servo Control The actuator motor and the spindle motor are submitted to servo control. The actuator motor is controlled for moving and positioning the head to the track containing the desired data. To turn the disk at a constant velocity, the actuator motor is controlled according to the servo data that is written on the data side beforehand.

    Operations 6.2 Power Save The host can change the power consumption state of the device by issuing a power command to the device. 6.2.1 Power save mode There are five types of power consumption state of the device including active mode where all circuits are active.

The device can receive commands through the interface. However if a command with disk access is issued, response time to the command under the standby mode takes longer than the active, active idle, or low power idle mode because the access to the disk medium cannot be made immediately.

    6.4 Read-ahead Cache Read-ahead Cache is the function for automatically reading data blocks upon completion of the read command in order to read data from disk media and save data block on a data buffer. If a subsequent command requests reading of the read-ahead data, data on the data buffer can be transferred without accessing the disk media.

  • Page 278: Using The Read Segment Buffer

    Operations 6.4.3 Using the read segment buffer Methods of using the read segment buffer are explained for following situations. 6.4.3.1 Miss-hit In this situations, the top block of read requested data is not stored at all in the data buffer. As a result, all of the read requested data is read from disk media. 1) HAP (host address pointer) and DAP (disk address pointer) are defined in the head of the segment allocated from Buffer.
  • Page 279 6.4.3.2 Sequential hit When the read command that is targeted at a sequential address is received after execution of the read commands is completed, the read command transmits the Read requested data to the host system continuing read-ahead without newly allocating the buffer for read.
  • Page 280 Operations 6.4.3.3 Full hit In this situation, all read requested data is stored in the data buffer. Transfer of the read requested data is started from the location where hit data is stored. For data that is a target of caching and remains before a full hit, the data is retained when execution of the command is completed.
  • Page 281 6.4.3.4 Partial hit In this situation, a part of read requested data including the top sector is stored in the data buffer. A transfer of the read requested data starts from the address where the data that is hit is stored until the top sector of the read requested data. Remaining part of insufficient data is read then.
  • Page 282: Write Cache

    Operations 6.5 Write Cache Write Cache is the function for reducing the command processing time by separating command control to disk media from write control to disk media. When Write Cache is permitted, the write command can be keep receiving as long as the space available for data transfers remains free on the data buffer.
  • Page 283 (3) Status report in the event of an error The status report concerning an error occurring during writing onto media is created when the next command is issued. Where the command reporting the error status is not executed, only the error status is reported. Only the status of an error that occurs during write processing is reported.
