Additional functionality is provided in the Buffer Control block through the following features:

Increased automation to support minimal latency read operations with minimal latency.

Capability to support the execution of multiple consecutive Auto-Write commands without loss of data due to overwriting of data.

Auto write pointer.

A disk sector counter that can monitor the transfers between the disk and buffer.

Read/Write cache support.

5.2.2.3The Disk Control Block

The Spinpoint M8 Disk Control block manages the flow of data between the disk and the buffer. It is capable of performing completely automated track read and write operations at a maximum data rate of 800 Mb/s in byte wide NRZ mode. Many flexible features and elements of automation have been incorporated to complement the automation contributed by the Host and Buffer blocks.

The Disk Control block consists of the programmable sequencer (Disk Sequencer), CDR/data split logic, disk FIFO, fault tolerant sync detect logic, and other support logic.

The programmable sequencer contains a 31-by-4 byte programmable SRAM and associated control logic, which is programmed by the user to automatically control all single track format, read, and write operations. From within the sequencer micro program, the Disk Control block can automatically deal with such real time functions as defect skipping, servo burst data splitting, branching on critical buffer status and data compare operations. Once the Disk Sequencer is started, it executes each word in logical order. At the completion of the current instruction word, it either continues to the next instruction, continues to execute some other instruction based upon an internal or external condition having been met, or it stops.

During instruction execution or while stopped, registers can be accessed by the DSP to obtain status information reflecting the Disk Sequencer operations taking place.

5.2.2.4The Disk LDPC Control Block

The Disk Control Block supports a programmable LDPC code. Error detection and correction is handled in the Disk Control block. Automatic on-the-fly hardware correction will take place. Correction is guaranteed to complete before the parity bits of the sector following the sector where the error occurred utilizing standard ATA size sectors.

5.2.2.5Frequency Synthesizer

The frequency synthesizer is a clock frequency generation circuit used to generate a DSP clock, AT disk controller and servo clock from the External Reference clock input.
