Abstract

PURPOSE:To control the uneven amplitude of a position signal and to stabilize a servo loop by providing a circuit detecting maximum servo signal value between a servo signal amplifier and an AGC voltage generator. CONSTITUTION:A servo signal 20 amplified by a servo signal amplifier 1 is sent to a diode 6 of a detecting circuit 5 for servo signal maximum value. The current flowing to a resistance 7 is divided to diodes 6 and 8, and the cathode potential of the diode 6 is equal to that of the diode 8. The current supplied to the diode 8 flows into a capacitor 9 and does not flow backward, and therefore the potential at the terminal of the capacitor 9 is kept at the maximum value of the servo signal. A resistance 10 is used for discharge of the capacitor 9 and decides the holding time of the maximum value of the servo signal with the time constant of a CR. An operational amplifier 11 is used as a voltage follower, and the maximum voltage value of the servo signal is detected at the output of the amplifier 11.

In magnetic disk drives, a positioning magnetic disk on which servo information (Servo) is written, that is, a servo disk, is used to position a read head on a desired track of a magnetic disk. In a typical servo disk, position signals are written in a direction perpendicular to the track, and the amplitude of the signal read from the servo disk is considered to be proportional to the track width. In order to read position signals from this servo disk, a position signal demodulator is provided in the control circuit of the magnetic disk drive.

Therefore, a method using a rotary actuator has been developed and is currently in use, which makes the entire disk device smaller, has fewer parts, and is relatively inexpensive. However, in a head mechanism using a rotary actuator, since the head moves in a fan shape around an axis, there may be a limit to the track density. Furthermore, in the case of a rotary actuator, as shown in 4.1 FIG. 3, the angle between the track and the head is different on the inner and outer circumferences, so the track pitch on the inner circumference should be widened.

Thus, if the track pitch is uneven depending on the number of cylinders, the servo head 16 crosses.
