A data storage device comprising a head actuated over a disk comprising a plurality of tracks. The head is positioned over a target track, and a sampled position error signal (PES) is generated representing a position of the head relative to the target track. The sampled PES is filtered with a servo compensator to generate a sampled control signal, and the sampled control signal is upsampled to generate an upsampled control signal. The sampled PES is upsampled to generate an upsampled PES, and the upsampled PES is processed to generate compensation values. The upsampled control signal is combined with the compensation values to generate a compensated control signal, and the position of the head over the target track is adjusted based on the compensated control signal.

One example includes an amplifier system. The system includes a gain stage configured to conduct a gain current in response to an input voltage. The system also includes a current limit stage coupled to the gain stage and being configured to one of source and sink the gain current and to define a limit amplitude of the gain current during a current limit condition. The system further includes an output stage coupled to the gain stage and configured to conduct an output current through an output node in response to the gain current, the output current having a maximum amplitude during the current limit condition that is proportional to the limit amplitude.

Systems and methods for compensating for hysteresis in a disc drive are described. In one embodiment, a method may use an inverse hysteresis model to linearize effects of hysteresis of a microactuator in the disc drive. The hysteresis model may be a Coleman-Hodgdon hysteresis model. The hysteresis of the microactuator may be characterized, and the inverse hysteresis model may be based at least in part on the characterization. The inverse hysteresis model may be used to implement a digital filter. The digital filter may be employed in series with the microactuator to linearize the effects of hysteresis.

Systems and methods are disclosed relating generally to data processing, and more particularly to applying low pass and rotation filtering in relation to data processing. For example, a system may include a phase modification value determination circuit operable to generate a phase offset value based upon an input data set derived from information sensed from a storage medium. The system may include an integrated low pass and rotation filtering circuit operable to simultaneously apply a low pass filtering function and phase rotation function to a series of digital samples derived from the information sensed from the storage medium to yield a modified output. Application of both the low pass filtering and phase rotation functions is governed at least in part based upon a selected coefficient set corresponding to a combination of the phase off set value and a boost value.

According to one embodiment, a disc device outputs a first signal for canceling out a first disturbance at a predetermined frequency of a position error, outputs a second signal which gain or phase of the first signal are changed, and corrects an operation amount or the position error by using the second signal.

A data storage device includes a disk, a head, a microactuator, a coarse actuator, and a servo controller. The microactuator is configured to position the head relative to the disk. The coarse actuator is configured to position the microactuator relative to the disk. The servo controller is configured to generate an adjusted position error signal based on a position error signal and an estimated microactuator position signal. The servo controller is also configured to filter the adjusted position error signal with a shaping filter to generate a filtered position error signal, and to provide sliding mode control of the coarse actuator based at least partially on the filtered position error signal.
