Abstract

A system and method for controlling operation of a motor system that addresses the design challenges for the small form factor optical disk system. The control system can include a first module for providing a period error, a proportional gain (Kp) and an integration gain (Ki); a second module for operating on the Ki and Kp to provide an output; and a third module for commutating the motor in response to the output.

Claims (22)

1. A method for controlling the spin speed of a motor comprising:

receiving a period value;

receiving an integrator gain value (Ki) and a proportional gain value (Kp);

updating an integration value in response to said integrator gain value; and

outputting a motor control command in response to said proportional gain value.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said receiving said Ki and said Kp comprises a variable as a function of a physical sector address on an optical medium.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein said Ki and Kp are variable as a function of a location on an optical medium.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein said updating comprises incrementing said integration value by the product of Ki and said period error.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein said outputting said control command comprises incrementing said integration value by the product of said Ki and said period error.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising comparing the integrator value to a first constant and a second constant to determine if said value is greater than said first constant or lesser than said second constant.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising setting said integration value to said first constant when said value is greater than said first constant.

8. The method of claim 6 , further comprising setting said integration value to said second constant when said value is lesser than said first constant.

9. A system for controlling a spin motor comprising:

a first module for providing a period error, a proportional gain (Kp) and an integration gain (Ki);

a second module for operating on said Ki and Kp to provide an output; and

a third module for commutating said motor in response to said output.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein said Ki and said Kp comprise a variable as a function of a physical sector address on an optical medium.

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein said Ki and Kp comprise a variable as a function of a location on an optical medium.

12. The system of claim 9 , wherein said second module provides an integration value incremented by the product of Ki and said period error.

13. The system of claim 9 , wherein said proportional value is the product of said Kp and said period error and is added to the integration value to provide said output.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein said integration value is made equal to a first constant if said integration value is greater than said first constant.

15. The system of claim 13 , wherein said integration value is made equal to a second constant if said integration value is lesser than said second constant.
