Abstract

A servo writing device which writes servo data in each sector of each track of a magnetic disk, wherein servo data recorded positions of the tracks are mutually corresponded. The servo writing device includes a clock head for generating reference clock signals and a standard clock generating circuit generating standard clock signals, whose frequency is higher than that of the reference clock signals and which is not synchronized with the reference clock signals. The device further includes a start pulse generating circuit receiving the reference clock signals as clock signals and generating a start pulse corresponding to the servo data recorded position and a synchronizing circuit synchronizing the start pulse with the standard clock signals and generating a synchronizing-start pulse. In addition, the device also includes a pattern generating circuit receiving the standard clock signals as clock signals and generating the servo data synchronizing with the synchronizing-start pulse.

Claims (6)

1. A servo writing device, to which a magnetic disk drive unit, which includes: a magnetic disk attached to a spindle; and a magnetic head for writing data onto and reading data from the magnetic disk, is attached and which writes servo data in each sector of each track of the magnetic disk with the magnetic head wherein servo data recorded positions of the tracks are mutually corresponded, comprising:

a clock head for generating reference clock signals, which are changed on the basis of rotation of the spindle or the magnetic disk;

a standard clock generating circuit generating standard clock signals, whose frequency is higher than that of the reference clock signals and which is not synchronized with the reference clock signals;

a start pulse generating circuit receiving the reference clock signals as clock signals and generating a start pulse corresponding to the servo data recorded position;

a synchronizing circuit synchronizing the start pulse with the standard clock signals and generating a synchronizing-start pulse; and

a pattern generating circuit receiving the standard clock signals as clock signals and generating the servo data synchronizing with the synchronizing-start pulse.
