Description

磁盘驱动器以及对磁盘驱动器进行伺服写入的方法
技术领域
背景技术
当制造磁盘驱动器时,同心伺服扇区20-2N被写到磁盘4,该磁盘4按如图1所示现有技术磁盘格式定义多个径向间隔的同心数据磁道6。每个数据磁道6被分割成多个数据扇区,其中同心伺服扇区20-2N被认为是“嵌入”在数据扇区中。每个伺服扇区(例如,伺服扇区24)包括用于同步增益控制和时序恢复的前导码8,用于同步到包括粗略磁头定位信息(例如磁道号)的数据字段12的同步标记10,以及提供精细磁头定位信息的伺服脉冲14。在寻道操作期间处理粗略磁头定位信息,以将磁头定位在目标磁道上方,并且在跟踪操作期间处理伺服脉冲14,以将磁头保持在目标磁道的中心线上方的同时读或写数据。
过去,在制造期间,已经使用外部伺服写入器(servowriter)将同心伺服扇区20-2N写到磁盘表面。外部伺服写入器采用极其精确的磁头定位机构(例如激光干涉仪)来确保将同心伺服扇区20-2N从磁盘外直径到磁盘内直径写在合适的径向位置。然而,外部伺服写入器很昂贵,而且需要洁净室内环境,以便磁头定位销(pin)能够被插入到磁头磁盘组件(HDA)内而不污染磁盘。因此,外部伺服写入器已经成为磁盘驱动器制造过程中的昂贵瓶颈。
现有技术已经提议各种“自伺服”写入方法,其中使用磁盘驱动器的内部电子器件独立于外部伺服写入器进行同心伺服扇区的写入。例如,美国专利No.5,668,679教导了一种磁盘驱动器,其通过以下步骤执行自伺服写入操作:将多个螺旋伺服磁道写到磁盘,接着处理该多个螺旋伺服磁道,以沿着环形路径对同心伺服扇区进行写入。每个螺旋磁道如高频信号(具有丢失的比特)一样被写到磁盘,其中相对于检测到的螺旋伺服磁道位置中的时间偏移生成用于跟踪的方位误差信号(PES)。对读信号进行整流并且低通滤波,以生成代表螺旋磁道交叉的三角包络信号,其中,通过检测三角包络信号相对于同步到磁盘旋转的时钟的峰值,来检测螺旋伺服磁道的位置。

具体实施方式
图2A示出根据本发明实施例的对磁盘驱动器进行伺服写入的方法,其中磁盘驱动器包括在第一磁盘表面上方致动的第一磁头,以及在第二磁盘表面上方致动的第二磁头。测量第一磁盘表面的第一可重复偏摆(RRO)(步骤16),并且响应于所测得的第一RRO执行寻道,以使第一磁头在第一磁盘表面上方寻道(步骤18),同时使用第二磁头将第一螺旋磁道写到第二磁盘表面(步骤20),其中第一螺旋磁道包括由同步标记中断的高频信号,并且第一螺旋磁道包括与第一磁盘表面的第一RRO基本匹配的第二RRO。
图2B将针对第一磁盘表面24A所测得的第一RRO22A示为包括正弦波,其周期等于磁盘的一个循环(1REV)。RRO通常由磁盘相对于使磁盘旋转的主轴电机轮毂中心非中心对齐而引起的。当多个磁盘被夹持(clamp)到主轴电机时,每个磁盘中心可能与主轴电机轮毂中心是不同的非中心对齐。在一个实施例中,在第一磁盘表面上伺服的同时,将多个螺旋磁道写到第二磁盘表面,其中螺旋磁道用于将同心伺服扇区伺服写在第二磁盘表面上。为了使第一表面和第二表面两者的同心伺服扇区对齐,图2B中示出的第一磁盘表面24A的第一RRO22A用于将第一螺旋磁道280写到图2C中示出的第二磁盘表面24B。因此,第一螺旋磁道280包括与第一磁盘表面24A的第一RRO22A基本匹配的第二RRO22B,即使第二磁盘表面的RRO可能与第一磁盘表面的RRO不同。
在图3A示出的实施例中,使用介质写入器将多个同心伺服扇区260-26N写到第一磁盘的第一磁盘表面24A。接着,第一磁盘和至少另一个空白磁盘被夹持到磁盘驱动器的主轴电机轮毂,其中每个磁盘基于与主轴电机轮毂的非中心对齐而可能展现出不同的RRO。在磁盘驱动器内的控制电路通过读取同心伺服扇区260-26N来使第一磁头伺服在第一磁盘表面24A上方,并且通过以下步骤来测量第一磁盘表面22A的第一RRO:测量用于响应于伺服扇区260-26N而伺服磁头的方位误差信号(PES)中的正弦扰动的幅度和相位。在下面描述的实施例中,通过调整正弦前馈补偿的幅度和相位直到PES下降到阀值以下,以此来获知第一RRO。得到的正弦前馈补偿代表第一磁盘表面的第一RRO。
在测量第一磁盘表面的第一RRO后,控制电路使用正弦前馈补偿使第一磁头以基本恒定速度在第一磁盘表面上方寻道,同时使用第二磁头将螺旋磁道28i写到第二磁盘表面24B。控制电路执行多次寻道,以便将多个螺旋磁道280-28N写到第二磁盘表面24B,如图3B所示。在图3B所示的实施例中,每个螺旋磁道28i在部分磁盘循环期间被写入,但是,可以在多个磁盘循环期间被写入,如图2C的实施例中所示。得到的螺旋磁道280-28N将包括与第一磁盘表面的RRO基本匹配的RRO。
在螺旋磁道280-28N被写到第二磁盘表面后,控制电路在螺旋磁道上伺服的同时,将同心伺服扇区300-30N写到第二磁盘表面24B,如图3C所示。由于螺旋磁道280-28N的RRO基本匹配于第一磁盘表面的RRO,因此用于写入螺旋磁道280-28N的同一正弦前馈补偿值可以被用于将同心伺服扇区300-30N写在第二磁盘表面24B上。因此,在第二磁盘表面24B上的同心伺服扇区300-30N将与第一磁盘表面24A上的同心伺服扇区280-28N径向对齐。以此方式,第二磁盘表面24B的伺服磁道(和数据磁道)将与第一磁盘表面24A的伺服磁道(和数据磁道)对齐。
图4A-4D示出本发明的替换实施例,其中使用介质写入器来将多个螺旋磁道写到第一磁盘的第一磁盘表面24A,接着第一磁盘和至少一个空白磁盘一起被夹持到磁盘驱动器主轴电机轮毂上。接着,控制电路伺服在第一磁盘表面24A的螺旋磁道上,以便将多个同心伺服扇区写到第一磁盘表面24A,如图4B所示。接着,响应于写在第一磁盘表面24A上的同心伺服扇区而测量第一磁盘表面24A的第一RRO,并且使用该RRO来将螺旋磁道写到第二磁盘表面24B,如图4C所示。接着,控制电路伺服在第二磁盘表面24B的螺旋磁道上(使用用于将螺旋磁道写在第二磁盘表面24B上的正弦前馈补偿值),以便将多个同心伺服扇区写到第二磁盘表面24B,如图4D所示。
图5A示出根据本发明实施例的磁盘驱动器,其包括在第一磁盘表面24A上方由音圈电机(VCM)34致动的第一磁头32A,该VCM使致动器臂36A围绕枢轴旋转。磁盘驱动器包括控制电路,控制电路包括读/写通道38,读/写通道38用于处理当第一磁头32A读取同心伺服扇区260-26N时从第一磁头32A发出的读信号40。读/写通道38生成估计的方位40,该估计的方位40代表第一磁头32A在第一磁盘表面24A上方的估计的径向位置。从参考方位44(例如,目标径向位置)减去42该估计的方位40,以生成方位误差信号(PES)46。用合适的VCM补偿器48对该PES46进行滤波,以生成控制信号50,该控制信号50用于使第一磁头32A伺服在第一磁盘表面24A上方。
当获知了第一磁盘表面24A的第一RRO时,RRO补偿器52测量PES46中对应的正弦扰动。在一个实施例中,RRO补偿器52调节具有角频率为2πk/N的正弦前馈补偿Ae54的幅度A和相位θ,其中k是N个伺服扇区外的当前伺服扇区。该正弦前馈补偿Ae54被添加56到控制信号50,以生成施加于VCM34的补偿过的控制信号58。调节正弦前馈补偿Ae54的幅度和相位,直到PES基本为0(除了非可重复扰动或更高谐波RRO的影响外)。在一个实施例中,为同心伺服扇区260-26N中的每个生成前馈补偿值,并且可选地,为每个磁道或磁道的分区生成前馈补偿值。
在一个实施例中,控制电路通过使用速度分布使第一磁头32A在第一磁盘表面24A上方寻道,以此将螺旋磁道写到第二磁盘表面24B,图5B示出速度分布的例子。速度分布包括加速段、恒定速度段以及减速段。在图5B实施例中,控制电路在速度分布的恒定速度段期间将螺旋磁道写到第二磁盘表面24B,使得螺旋磁道包括在磁盘半径上基本恒定的斜率。当使第一磁头32A在第一磁盘表面24A上方寻道时,第一磁盘表面24A的RRO是对伺服系统状态(例如,方位、速度等)的扰动。在一个实施例中,图5A中示出的正弦前馈补偿Ae54补偿了RRO扰动,使得第一磁头32A以相对于第一磁盘表面24A基本恒定的速度移动,由此以相对于第一磁盘表面24A(即,相对于第一磁盘表面24A的RRO)基本恒定的速度在第二磁盘表面24B上方移动第二磁头32B(图7A)。
图6示出根据本发明实施例的流程图,其中第一磁盘表面24A的RRO相对于第一磁头32A的径向位置改变。因此,在多个径向位置处测量第一磁盘表面的RRO(步骤60),并且将对应的RRO补偿值存储在半导体存储器中(步骤62)。接着,控制电路使用速度分布(例如图5B)使第一磁头在第一磁盘表面上方寻道(步骤64)。当第一磁头到达伺服扇区时(步骤66),从半导体存储器中读出与伺服扇区和磁头径向位置对应的RRO补偿值(步骤68),并且将其用于通过例如以下步骤来调节寻道(步骤70):将正弦前馈补偿Ae添加到VCM控制信号,如上所述。
图7A示出本发明的实施例,其中磁盘驱动器包括多个磁盘表面24A-24D以及在每个磁盘表面上方致动的相应的磁头32A-32D。在一个实施例中,当控制电路使第一磁头32A在第一磁盘表面24A上方寻道的同时,同时将第一螺旋磁道写到第二磁盘表面24B和将第二螺旋磁道写到第三磁盘表面24C(并且可选地,将第三螺旋磁道写到第四磁盘表面24D)。即,可以使用捆绑的(band)写操作将螺旋磁道写到磁盘表面,而在替换实施例中,可以使用分开的写操作将螺旋磁道写到每个磁盘表面。
图7A示出本发明的另一个实施例,其中当第一磁头32A在寻道期间到达目标环向位置和径向位置从而将索引螺旋磁道写到每个磁盘表面(捆绑写入或分开写入)时,在每个磁盘表面上的索引螺旋磁道中写入接缝72B-72D。可以以任何合适的方式写入接缝72B-72D,例如通过在每个索引螺旋磁道中写入间隙(gap)。在图7B示出的实施例中,通过在每个螺旋磁道中切换同步标记来在每个索引螺旋磁道中写入接缝72B-72D。可以通过检测同步标记随着磁头在磁盘上方径向移动时的变化(例如,使用匹配到每个同步标记的相关器)来检测接缝。在图7B的实施例中,当在寻道期间第一磁头32A处于连续的伺服扇区N和N+1之间的中途时,将接缝写入索引螺旋磁道。以此方式,写入接缝的磁道可以被估计为磁道J+K/2,其中磁道J与伺服扇区N对应,磁道J+K与伺服扇区N+1对应,如图7B所示。
图7C示出本发明的实施例,其中在将螺旋磁道(包括包含接缝72B-72D的索引螺旋磁道)写到磁盘表面24B-24D后,通过在螺旋磁道上伺服来将同心伺服扇区写到每个磁盘表面。在将同心伺服扇区写到磁盘表面中的一个之前,定位索引螺旋磁道中的接缝,以便初始化磁头的径向位置和环向位置。接着,写入同心伺服扇区,以便与其他磁盘表面在径向上和环向上对齐。这在图7C中示出,其中在磁盘表面上环向对齐伺服扇区,包括索引伺服扇区SS0。另外,将同心伺服扇区写在每个磁盘表面,使得在第一磁盘表面24A上对应于何时写入接缝72B-72D的磁道74(图7B中的磁道J+K/2)在各磁盘表面上是相同的磁道(即,同心伺服扇区和得到的伺服磁道在磁盘表面上径向对齐)。
在一个实施例中,在各磁盘表面上在径向上和环向上对齐同心伺服扇区提高了访问磁盘表面的性能。例如,对齐同心伺服扇区会使旋转方位优化(RPO)算法能够估计在完成对第一磁盘表面的访问命令后,访问第二磁盘表面上的目标磁道的目标数据扇区所需要的时间。替换地,对齐同心伺服扇区可以通过最小化磁头切换后的延迟来提高当执行跨越多个磁盘表面的访问命令(读或写)时的性能。
可以采用任何合适的控制电路来实现本发明实施例中的流程图,例如任何合适的集成电路。例如,控制电路可以被实现在读通道集成电路内,或者实现在与读通道分开的部件中(例如磁盘控制器),或者上述某些步骤可以由读通道执行,而其他步骤由磁盘控制器执行。在一个实施例中,读通道和磁盘控制器被实现为分开的集成电路,而在一个替换实施例中,他们被制造到单个集成电路或片上系统(SOC)中。另外,控制电路可以包括合适的前置放大电路,其被实现为独立的集成电路、集成到读通道或磁盘控制器电路中或集成到SOC中。
在一个实施例中,控制电路包括执行指令的微处理器,该指令可操作来使微处理器执行本文描述的流程图的各步骤。指令可以被存储在任何计算机可读介质中。在一个实施例中,他们可以被存储在微处理器外部的非易失性半导体存储器中,或者被存储在与微处理器集成在SOC中的非易失性半导体存储器中。在另一个实施例中,指令被存储在磁盘上,并且当磁盘驱动器上电时,指令被读取到非易失性半导体存储器中。在又一个实施例中,控制电路包括合适的逻辑电路,例如状态机器电路。
