Based on the above command, the transmission controller 42 loads the reception request command, address, data and control bits into the shift register 43 with a load function. However, all register data bits RDB shall be zero. After that, the transmission controller 42 shifts the data of the shift register 43 with the load function for each transmission clock input from the communication clock generation circuit, and becomes the same bit string as the signal format SF shown in FIG.

- the control line level VC indicates the level state of the control lines 37 and 40.
- the bidirectional buffers 8 and 33 are both configured to follow the signal flow on the H side.
- serial data SD the first bit indicates the RZW bit, the next 8 bits are the register address, and the 8 bits are the data in the register at that address.
- the register is written from the communication control circuit 75 to the amplifier Z communication control circuit 74.
- the register is read from the amplifier Z communication control circuit 74 to the communication control circuit 75. It becomes.
- the R / W bit is low, so the data bit value is set in the address register corresponding to the address bit.
- FIG. 7 shows the same signal as FIG. 6, and the RZW bit is at the high level.
- the control lines 37 and 40 are at the low level during the data bit period.
- the bidirectional buffers 8 and 33 are placed on the L side, and the amplifier Z communication control circuit 74 is on the transmitting side, and The control circuit 75 is the receiving side.
- the amplifier Z communication control circuit 74 transmits the register value corresponding to the address indicated by the communication control circuit 75.
- the preamble PA of the servo data to be reproduced is decoded as the serial clock SC, and synchronous serial communication is performed using the serial clock SC.
- OSC oscillators
- the clock is generated in a circuit where the oscillator always generates a clock asynchronously with the read data. Even a small amount of noise will interfere with the read data.
- the reproduction of user data includes a high-frequency signal having a very deteriorated level, and thus the interference cannot be ignored.
- an easy analog filter The serial clock sc is generated from the comparator. Furthermore, since it is generated based on the preamble data of servo data that provides a high signal quality SZN, and communication is performed only during that period, the influence of high-frequency noise generated by clocks and data in communication is also relatively affected. To be reduced. As described above, the second embodiment can further reduce the interference with the reproduction signal due to communication compared with the first embodiment, so that a better read signal can be obtained while performing register setting and reading of the head IC. The resulting disk device can be provided.
- the configuration focuses on reducing the influence of interference on the read signal due to communication, communication when the disk device is not in a read state is not shown.
- the serial clock SC is generated from the servo data preamble PA data, communication is not possible unless the disk device is in a read state.
- the read amplifier 3 can be easily provided with an oscillation circuit that generates a reproduction signal of the pseudo preamble PA.
- the communication of the second embodiment is performed only when in the read amplifier card state. When not in the lead state, serial communication using three wires may be performed as before.
- This configuration eliminates the need for three signal lines for serial communication, which was conventionally required.
- the number of FPC21 pins connecting the head IC1 and the digital control circuit side can be reduced.
- the signal level used for communication can be lowered from the TTL level or CMOS level described above to several hundred mV, the same level as the read / write signal.
- the crosstalk component during communication can be reduced by 15 dB or more.
- high frequency component noise generated during communication is mitigated by capacitive coupling between differentials, and the influence on the power supply ground can be reduced.
- the differential input line of the write signal is used at the time of reading.
- the differential output line of the read signal is used as the communication line.
