Abstract
The present invention includes a servo control system for controlling a dual stage actuator in a disc drive. The disc drive includes a data head for accessing information on a disc surface, and the dual stage actuator includes a coarse actuator and at least one fine actuator. The control system includes a fine actuator driver and a coarse actuator driver for driving the fine and coarse actuators, respectively. The control system also includes an observer which receives the coarse and fine actuator input signals and estimates a response of the coarse and fine actuators. A gain boost circuit is coupled to the fine and coarse actuator drivers and introduces a gain boost to reduce track following error in a desired frequency range.
