ABSTRACT:
A velocity control system for a magnetic disc apparatus has: a circuit for generating a two-phase position signal which is used to determine the position of the magnetic head; an A/D converter for converting the two-phase position signal to a digital signal; a microprocessor for computing a target velocity and a real velocity which correspond to a distance between the target track and the current position of the magnetic head in accordance with the digital signal, and for computing a velocity difference between the target velocity and the real velocity; a D/A converter for converting a signal corresponding to the velocity difference to an analog signal; and a linear motor for driving the magnetic head to control the seek velocity of the magnetic head, in accordance with the analog signal.
