Theory of Device Operation
4.7 Servo Control
The actuator motor and the spindle motor are submitted to servo control. The actuator motor is controlled for moving and positioning the head to the track containing the desired data. To turn the disk at a constant velocity, the actuator motor is controlled according to the servo data that is written on the data side beforehand.
4.7.1 Servo control circuit
Figure 4.6 is the block diagram of the servo control circuit. The following describes the functions of the blocks:

(1) Microprocessor unit (MPU)
The MPU includes the AD converter and DSP unit, etc., and the MPU starts the spindle motor, moves the heads to the reference cylinders, seeks the specified cylinder, and executes calibration according to the internal operations of the MPU.
