Patent ID: 7848050

Claim:
A positioning control system, comprising: a head moving unit configured to move a head for recording or reproducing information with respect to a disk capable of recording information; a position detecting unit configured to detect a position of the head; an error detecting unit configured to detect a position error signal of a detected head position with respect to a predetermined target position; a compensation controller configured to generate control input by performing phase lead compensation and phase delay compensation for the position error signal and supply the control input to the head moving unit; and a gain controller configured to control at least one of gains the phase lead compensation and the phase delay compensation based on frequency components contained in the position error signal and an amplitude of the position error signal, wherein the gain controller has a bandpass filter for passing a predetermined band and controls the at least one of the gains according to the amplitude of a signal resulting from input of the position error signal to the bandpass filter, and the gain controller calculates a monotonically increasing function or a monotonically decreasing function which has a variable showing the amplitude of a signal resulting from the bandpass filter and has upper and lower limits, and controls the at least one of the gains based on an output value of the monotonically increasing function or the monotonically decreasing function.
