Abstract

A settling control method and apparatus perform an improved settling control regardless of a seek distance when a disc drive track seek control operation is performed. An adaptive settling control method used in controlling the track seek mode of the disc drive includes: controlling a head to converge into a target position and a target velocity along with an eigen vector by transiting an initial state of the head motion onto an eigen vector line of a system at the time transiting from an acceleration/deceleration control mode of the track seek mode to a settling control mode.
