Data recording device
View Patent ↗Embodiments of the present invention provide a data recording device capable of achieving desired performance while increasing the convergence rate. According to one embodiment, in a data recording device, an update-width determination unit included in a setting updating unit determines an update-width of a set frequency f in a digital filter according to the size of a position error signal PES, and an update-width adjuster included in the setting updating unit changes the update-width of the set frequency f determined by the update-width determination unit according to the size of the set frequency f. Thus, while the convergence rate being kept properly, the set frequency f can precisely be converged on a frequency of a disturbance component.
1. A data recording device comprising:
a recording medium on which servo data is recorded;
a head which reproduces said servo data from said recording medium;
an actuator which moves said head relative to said recording medium; and
a position-control circuit which produces, based on the servo data reproduced by said head, a position error signal representing a position error of said head relative to a target position and drives said actuator so that said head may be positioned at said target position,
wherein said position-control circuit includes:
an attenuator which attenuates signal components of a set frequency contained in said position error signal;
an update-width determination unit which determines an update-width of said set frequency, for allowing said set frequency to follow a frequency of disturbance components contained in said position error signal, according to the size of said position error signal;
an update-width adjuster which changes the determined update-width of said set frequency according to the size of said set frequency; and
a setting updating unit which updates said set frequency of said attenuator according to the changed update-width of said set frequency,
wherein the larger said set frequency becomes, the smaller said update-width adjuster makes the update-width of said set frequency.
2. A data recording device according to claim 1 comprising a memory storing therein a table containing the relationship between the size of said set frequency and weight assignment for changing the update-width of set frequency,
wherein said update-width adjuster refers to the contents of said table and changes the update-width of said set frequency.
