This paper describes design of equalizer chips of the read channel for high-density hard-disk drives. In order to meet increasing need of hard-disk drives, the read channel incorporates various PRML schemes. They require proper equalization to implement the efficient hardware of Viterbi decoders. This paper describes EPR-IV equalization for the read channel and a 200MHz analog FIR filter chip is presented which utilizes the sampled analog signal processing efficiently.

Dynamic Load/unload (L/UL) mechanism is an alternative to the contact start stop (CSS) technology which eliminates stiction and wear failure modes associated with CSS. Other benefits of L/UL include increased areal density due to smooth disk surfaces, thinner overcoats, and lower head flying height Improved shock resistance due to elimination of head slap, and reduced power consumption. Inertia latch mechanism becomes important for mobile disk drives because of non operating shock performance. Various types of latch designs have been introduced in hard disk drives to limit a rotary actuator from sudden uncontrolled motion. In this paper, a single spring inertia latch is introduced for a small form optical disk drive, which uses a rotary actuator for moving an optical pick-up. A new small inertia latch with single spring is designed to ensure both feasible and small size. The shock performance of the new inertia latch is experimentally verified.

To obtain a good tracking performance in an optical disk drive servo system, it is essential to attenuate periodic disturbances caused by eccentric rotation of the disk. As an effective control scheme for enhancing disturbance attenuation performance, disturbance observers (DOBs) have been successfully applied to the track-following servo system of optical disk drives. In disk drive systems, the improvement of data transfer rate has been achieved mainly by the increase of disk rotational speed, which leads to the increase of the disturbance frequency. Conventional DOBs are no longer effective in disk drive systems with a high-speed rotation mechanism because the performance of conventional DOBs is severely degraded as the disk rotational frequency increases. This paper proposes a new DOB structure for effective rejection of the disturbance in optical disk drives with a very high rotation speed. Asymptotic disturbance rejection is achieved by adopting a band-pass filter in the DOB structure, which is tuned based on the information on the disturbance frequency. In addition, performance sensitivity of the proposed DOB to changes in disk rotational frequency is analyzed. The effectiveness of the proposed DOB is verified through simulations and experiments using a DVD-ROM drive.

다중 디스크 드라이브가 포함된 디스크 배열 시스템에서 디스크의 수가 증가 될 때 시스템 성능은 컨트롤러의 집중화 또는 버스로 사용되는 전송 경로의 병목현상에 의해 제한되어진다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해 고성능 대용량의 RAID가 등장하였으며 RAID 시스템에서 컨트롤러 기능은 모든 디스크 드라이브에 분산되고 각 디스크는 그들의 임무를 수행하는 자율성을 가진 자율적 네트웍이 일반적 계층 시스템 보다 확장성이 좋고 시스템 자원을 보다 효율적으로 이용할 수 있어 디스크 수의 증가율에 따라 높은 읽기/쓰기 처리율의 성능을 제공한다.

This paper describes new harmonic disturbance compensation based on a peak filter array for Hard Disk Drives. Unlike a conventional method, the proposed method does not require any sin/cos functions or tables and reduces effects of all harmonic disturbances within a nyquist frequency. Two factors are introduced to parameterize stability and a gain tune. In addition, it is verified that the order of the proposed filter is minimal. From 600 experimental results, 8.5% performance improvement is achieved.

This paper presents a servo design method for high track-density hard disk drives, in which the plant time delay, mainly due to the processor computation time, is taken into account. The key idea behind the proposed design method is to incorporate the delay model into the output equation of the state-space representation for the plant model; thereby, the delay is accounted for by a standard state observer in a natural manner, with simplified state equations as compared to those for conventional methods. The results from practical application confirm that the proposed method is quite effective in realizing a high-bandwidth servo system in hard disk drives.

With the increase in recording density and higher rotation speeds, the aerodynamic aspect of hard disk drives (HDDs) is now quite significant. To achieve high TPI (tracks per inch) for hard disk drives, the actuator must induce less air turbulence. Also, alternative cross sections for the actuator arms are proposed for the reduction of air turbulence. In this study, off-track vibration of actuator arms used in of 3.5" hard disk drives with different cross sections have been measured by using Laser Doppler Vibrometer (LDV). It has been found that the vibration of the actuator arms with modified cross sections is lower than the conventional one.

Recently, the demand for micro hard disk drive that provides high-capacity removable storage for handhold electronic devices is growing very rapidly Reducing power consumption is one of the primary control objectives in micro disk drives. The input power delivered to the seek servo system is consumed as heat by the transistors of power amplifier and motor coil resistance. In this paper, we present a new seek servo controller for minimizing the power consumption. We use a Fourier decomposition and nonlinear programming to determine the optimum seek profile that minimizes the power consumption. Also, the trajectory tracking controller is developed for exact tracking of the optimum seek profile. Finally, we present some experimental results using a commercially available micro disk drive in order to demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed controller.

In high-capacity disk drives with ever-growing track density, the allowable level of position error signal (PES) is becoming smaller and smaller. A substantial portion of the PES is caused by disk vibration. This can be reduced by using a head gimbal assemblies (HGAs) that do not confine the slider movement to the vertical direction to disks, but allow movement to the radial direction of disks with respect to disk vibration. Several types of HGAs are proposed for such radial motion of the slider. Experimental results show that the PES levels are reduced by the proposed HGA-design concepts.
