Abstract

See full text

This invention comprises an architecture for voltage mode control of a voice coil motor in a hard disk drive. In contrast to conventional current mode control, coil current is not sensed or measured, which simplifies the feedback design with less hardware required in the implementation. Common design methodologies for the square root velocity profile, linear velocity profile and regulator/estimator control system designs can be migrated from the current mode architecture to the voltage mode architecture.
