Abstract

An improved phase-locked loop control having DEAD TRACK acquisition wherein a separate oscillator generates a fixed frequency of digital pulses corresponding to the frequency of the data board in the storage media and, in the event of a DEAD TRACK in the storage media, the phase-locked loop control locks onto the fixed frequency output of the oscillator to insure lock during DEAD TRACK integral.
