Abstract

A servo writer that writes servo information onto a disk of a hard disk drive. The writing of the servo can be synchronized by a clock track that contains a clock read back signal. The clock read back signal is differentiated by a differentiator circuit. A clamping circuit clamps the clock read back signal to minimize signal ringing, undershoot and overshoot phenomena in the signal.
