Abstract

A disturbance compensation determination apparatus, a related method, a computer readable medium storing a computer program related to the method, and a disk drive comprising the apparatus are provided. The disturbance compensation determination apparatus includes a disturbance observer (DOB) receiving a control input signal and a servo output signal of a plant, wherein the DOB calculates and outputs a current estimated disturbance value. The apparatus also includes a disturbance evaluation unit selectively changing a current disturbance compensation (DC) mode, wherein selectively changing the current DC mode comprises evaluating an accumulated estimated disturbance value in accordance with a condition corresponding to the current DC mode. In addition, the apparatus includes a switching unit selectively providing the current estimated disturbance value to a control loop of the plant in accordance with the current DC mode as selectively changed by the disturbance evaluation unit.
