Method for controlling start of adaptive spindle motor and disk drive using the method

摘要

A method of controlling starting current of an adaptive spindle motor in consideration of maximum allowable consumption power and a disk drive using the method. The method includes measuring a supply voltage supplied to the disk drive, calculating a maximum current that can be supplied to the spindle motor in a range of maximum allowable power in correspondence to the supply voltage measured in the measuring of the supply voltage, and applying the calculated maximum current to the spindle motor to start the spindle motor.
