Design of Actuator Servo Controller

We need several components such as resistors, capacitors, operational amplifiers etc dedicated to the realization of filter only when an analog filter is used. A discrete realization, however, does not require dedicated components. The components used to realize a discrete filter, e.g., ADC, processor etc can be shared by many other functions. For a mass produced product like HDD, reduction in the component count is one of the possible ways of reducing cost of production. In addition, the hardwared notch filters, once designed, can not be easily modified. Hence, in mass produced HDD’s, where the frequency of resonance may vary up to 5% from one drive to another and in which feedback controllers are implemented using powerful digital signal processors, digital notch filters are more popular choice for tackling actuator resonance problems.
Amplifiers and Filters
Published in Clarence W. de Silva, Sensor Systems, 2016
Filtering can be achieved by digital filters as well as analog filters. Before digital signal processing became efficient and economical, analog filters were exclusively used for signal filtering and are still widely used. An analog filter is typically an active filter containing active components such as transistors or op-amps. In an analog filter, the input signal is passed through an analog circuit. Dynamics of the circuit will determine which (desired) signal components would be allowed through and which (unwanted) signal components would be rejected. Earlier versions of analog filters employed discrete circuit elements such as discrete transistors, capacitors, resistors, and even discrete inductors. Since inductors have several shortcomings such as susceptibility to electromagnetic noise, unknown resistance effects, and large size, today they are rarely used in filter circuits. Furthermore, due to well-known advantages of IC devices, today analog filters in the form of monolithic IC chips are extensively used in modem applications and are preferred over discrete-element filters. Digital filters, which employ digital signal processing to achieve filtering, are also widely used today.

The purpose of the analog filter is to remove high frequency noise before sampling by the analog-to-digital (A/D) converter. This filter is commonly called an anti-aliasing filter or an analog prefilter. It is especially important to use an anti-aliasing filter when controlling flow or pressure in a duct or pipe because turbulence can generate a large amount of noise. The bandwidth of the analog filter should be selected based on the sampling period for the A/D converter. In the HVAC industry, a sampling period of 1 second is typical.
First order universal filters employing single DV-EXCCCII
Published in International Journal of Electronics Letters, 2023
Analog filter circuits have applications in areas of communications, signal processing, control system and instrumentation. The circuit designs using the current-mode approach emerged as an important topic in the research with inherent features, such as large bandwidth and dynamic range, high slew rate, greater linearity, simple circuitry and low power supply. A number of high performance active analog blocks are discussed in the literature. Some of the most popular active elements are CCII (Horng, 2010a; Shah et al., 2004), DVCC (Horng, 2010b), OTRA (Cam et al., 2004), OTA (Sotner et al., 2014), CDTA (Shah et al., 2007; Shah et al., 2008a; Shah et al., 2008b; Tangsrirat et al., 2010), CCTA (Pandey et al., 2011), OFCC (Pandey et al., 2014), DO-CCII (Yuce & Minaei, 2016), CFA (Shah et al., 2005), DX-MOCCII (Beg et al., 2011), and many more.

This low-power and low-cost chip has an ultralow noise density of 25 µg/√Hz in three axes and an integrated analogue, low-pass, antialiasing filter with a fixed bandwidth of approximately 1.5 kHz. The analogue filter reduces out of the band noise to limit bandwidth for a high-resolution signal. Further filtering option integrated in the accelerometer chip is a digital filter to maintain excellent noise performance at various bandwidths. This filtering option includes low-pass digital decimation filter and a bypassable high-pass filter providing output data rates between 3.9 Hz to 4 kHz. To digitise the filtered analogue signals, this accelerometer has an integrated 20-bit ADC that is an ideal resolution for SHM applications.
