    Abstract: A circuit for discriminating among pulses in a series of recurring pulses based on the interval between adjacent pulses which circuit is particularly useful in extracting timing information from a series of pulses such as are induced in a servo head by movement relative thereto of a prerecorded servo track in a disc pack data storage system. The circuit includes a monostable multivibrator for producing a timing signal having a duration corresponding to the time interval between two successive pulses. The monostable multivibrator output is stored, for example in a data flip flop, so as to produce an output pulse from the flip flop if a succeeding pulse in the series occurs while the monostable multivibrator output is high. A feedback circuit connects the output pulse to the timing circuit of the monostable multivibrator to alter the duration of the timing signal produced by the monostable multivibrator in accordance with changes in frequency of the recurring pulses so as to maintain constant the width of the output pulse notwithstanding variation of the frequency of the pulse series. The feedback circuit includes an integrator which effects a reduction in band width of the feedback circuit so that noise pulses or the like that occur at random times have insignificant effect on the circuit and on the output pulses produced thereby.

    Abstract: A phase comparator for a digital phase locked loop which provides first and second order error signals for phase and frequency correction of a voltage controlled oscillator in the loop with respect to data being read for self synchronization of the data. A first order error signal is generated in a first phase detector which operates only during a VCO "unsafe" condition, i.e., when a data pulse is beyond a present limit. A finer, second order error signal is generated in a second phase detector which operates only during a VCO "safe" condition, i.e., when a data pulse is within a preset limit.

    Abstract: In a digital information storage system or the like, start up power sequencing for independently operable machines such as disk drives each equipped with a microprocessing unit is provided through a simplified power sequencing circuit. The power sequencing circuit is operatively coupled with an independent preprogrammable micropocessing unit in each machine and to a single control line common to all disk drives. The microprocessing unit is preprogrammed to interact with the power sequencing circuit to provide Enable/Disable signals to the control line and to sense the state of the control line. In particular, the microprocessing unit executes a preprogrammed sequence of steps in interaction with the control line to sequence the start-up of each spindle motor irrespective of the number of disk drives coupled to the control line, thereby preventing electrical power overload.
