Abstract

A data storage device includes a disk, a head, a microactuator, a coarse actuator, and a servo controller. The microactuator is configured to position the head relative to the disk. The coarse actuator is configured to position the microactuator relative to the disk. The servo controller is configured to generate an adjusted position error signal based on a position error signal and an estimated microactuator position signal. The servo controller is also configured to filter the adjusted position error signal with a shaping filter to generate a filtered position error signal, and to provide sliding mode control of the coarse actuator based at least partially on the filtered position error signal.
