Patent ID: 7626781

Claim:
A data recording device comprising: a recording medium on which servo data is recorded; a head which reproduces said servo data from said recording medium; an actuator which moves said head relative to said recording medium; and a position-control circuit which produces, based on the servo data reproduced by said head, a position error signal representing a position error of said head relative to a target position and drives said actuator so that said head may be positioned at said target position, wherein said position-control circuit includes: an attenuator which attenuates signal components of a set frequency contained in said position error signal; an update-width determination unit which determines an update-width of said set frequency, for allowing said set frequency to follow a frequency of disturbance components contained in said position error signal, according to the size of said position error signal; an update-width adjuster which changes the determined update-width of said set frequency according to the size of said set frequency; and a setting updating unit which updates said set frequency of said attenuator according to the changed update-width of said set frequency, wherein the larger said set frequency becomes, the smaller said update-width adjuster makes the update-width of said set frequency.
