4.3 Circuit Configuration
Figure 4.2 shows the power supply configuration of the disk drive, and Figure 4.3
shows the disk drive circuit configuration.
(1) Read/write circuit
The read/write circuit consists of two LSIs; read/write preamplifier (PreAMP) and
read channel (RDC).
The PreAMP consists of the write current switch circuit, that flows the write
current to the head coil, and the voltage amplifier circuit, that amplitudes the read
output from the head.
The RDC is the read demodulation circuit using the Modified Extended Partial
Response (MEEPR), and contains the Viterbi detector, programmable filter,
adaptable transversal filter, times base generator, data separator circuits, 16/17
MTR (Maximum Transitions Limited) encoder Run Length and servo
demodulation circuit.
(2) Servo circuit
The position and speed of the voice coil motor are controlled by 2 closed-loop
servo using the servo information recorded on the data surface. The servo
information is an analog signal converted to digital for processing by a MPU and
then reconverted to an analog signal for control of the voice coil motor.
The MPU precisely sets each head on the track according on the servo
information on the media surface.
(3) Spindle motor driver circuit
The circuit measures the interval of a PHASE signal generated by counter-
electromotive voltage of a motor and controls the motor speed comparing target
speed.
