3.6.1 Voltage Mode

In Voltage Mode, the VCM power outputs will apply a voltage to the VCM motor commanded by the VCM DAC.

This is implemented by tristating the sense amp and error amp outputs, and connecting DAC_OUT to

ERR_OUT with an internal switch (switch S2). Skipping the err_out amplifier the DAC command will enter the

power section without any inversion, then the DAC codification must be considered in opposite direction respect

to the current mode operation.

3.7 VCM Loop Offset Calibration Mode

The VCM Loop Calibration mode can be implemented following two different approach:

1) The VCM loop is enabled (sense amp, error amp, DAC), but the VCM power stage is tri-stated. Thus,

the sense amp is guaranteed to be monitoring a zero current condition.

To implement offset calibration, the current command is swept through zero by the controller ASIC.

Since the Gm loop is open, the error amp output will be saturated in one direction or the other depending

on the current command (to configurate the error opamp as a comparator the external compensation

network will be disconnected opening the switch S1). As the command sweeps through the zero current

command point, the error amp output will swing to the other extreme. The comparator senses the out-

put swing of the error amp, and through the serial port (Reg. 00H -> b6) interrupts the ASIC. The ap-

propriate DAC value corresponding to the trip point interrupt is the loop zero current offset.
