Abstract

See full text

An actuator control system and a magnetic disk device having a hybrid control system. The actuator control system includes an LPF that can be processed by the hardware architecture of a HDD that does not include a state estimator. The actuator control system includes an actuator 10, a VCM driver circuit 11 for driving the actuator 10, an ADC 12 for converting the position signal from the actuator 10 into a digital position signal, an MPU 13 for generating the control signal to the actuator 10 in response to the digital position signal, a DAC 14 for converting the control signal into an analog control signal, and an LPF 15 coupled between DAC 14 and VCM driver circuit 11. The MPU 13 compensates the phase delay resulting from the LPF 15 by digital control. Additionally, the digital control reconstructs the state model of a plant including the LPF 15 to a state model requiring no state estimator.
