GENERAL
“The FD1L035 micro-floppy disk drive is a
double-sided micro-floppy disk drive with 135
tracks per inch (TPI).
The Micro-floppy disk (abbreviated as disk in this
Manual) used for the FD1035 is contained in a hard
jacket with auto shutter.
The FD1L035 micro-floppy disk drive has a total
volume one fourth that of conventional 5-1/4" mini-
floppy disk drives and weights only approximately
680 g, yet has a comparable storage capacity.
The drive uses a direct-driven spindle with a
brushless DC motor, and by to the low power design
it consumes only 4.5 watts of power.
The low noise design assures silent operations.
In this manual the FD1035 micro-floppy disk drive
is abbreviated as FDD.

(5)
Base.
Constructs the frame.
Spindle motor assembly
Drives the disk using a DC spindle motor. The
“disk is secured to the spindle with a magnet
and is driven by a driving pin.
Head carriage assembly
Contains a pair of magnetic heads facing
across the medium. The R/W gap of the head on
side one is dislocated 8 tracks inner than
that of the head on side zero.
Step motor
Moves the carriage assembly via the steel band.
Head load assembly
Brings the magnetic head into contact with the
disk in read/write operations.
Index sensor
Optically senses the index point attached to
the spindle motor.
(7) Track 00 sensor
Optically senses that the magnetic head is at
track OO.
(8) Write protect sensor
Optically senses whether the write-protect
hole in the disk is open or closed.
(9) Eject mechanism
Used for insertion and removal of disk and for
automatic shutter control.
(10) P.W.B
Mounts the electric circuits that controls
positioning of magnetic head, read/write
operations, etc.
(11) Disply lamp
A LED is provided for display of the FDD
status.
(12) Front panel
Dress panel installed on the Drive front.
Drive Operation
When a diskette is inserted into the FDD, the disk
starts rotating and is chucked to the spindle. The
FDD becomes ready when the spindle motor reaches
the specified rotation speed after it was turned -
on. If the drive is selected, it transfers a READY
signal to the controller. It takes approximately
800 ms for the spindle motor to become ready.
Then FDD moves the magnetic head to a target track
for positioning according to the STEP pluse and
DIRECTION SELECT signals sent from the controller.
FDD brings the magnetic head into contact with the
disk by the MOTOR ON signal from the controller and
selects the desired magnetic head by the SIDE
SELECT signal. Now FDD is ready for read/write
operations.
For a write operation, the FDD converts into a
Magnetized pattern the WRITE DATA signal which is
the serial data sent from the controller and
records on the disk.
For a read operation, FDD detects a magnetized
pattern recorded on the disk, converts it into
serial data, and sends to the controller as a READ
DATA signal.

i General Description
FDD's may be attached to its controler in either
parallel or daisy-chain configuration. The number
of FDD's which can be attached to one controller
depends on dividual system and controller. For
daisy-chain attachment, each controller can control
up to 4 FDD's.
Signal line termination resistors are provided on
each FDD. The basic FDD attachment to the
controller is shown in Figure 3.1.

Fig. 3.5 Driver/Receiver Circuit Example
Input Signals
DRIVE SELECT 0 to 3 (DSO to 3)
DRIVE SELECT 0 to 3 are signals for selecting a
specified FDD. Setting one of DSO to DS3 to LOW
level selects the corresponding FDD, which makes
effective the input/output lines.
FDD is specified by shorting one of the DX
selection plugs 0 to 3 on the PWB.
_ HEAD LOAD (HDL) (Option Signal)
When FDD is ready (see Section 3.5.3), setting this
signal to LOW level causes the magnetic head to
touch the disk surface. However, in this device,
it is common to make the magnetic head touch the
media surface by motor on signal.
STEP (STP)
-Pulse signal which moves the magnetic head in the
direction specified by the direction select
signal. The head begins moving at the rising from
LOW to HIGH level of this signal. The magnetic
head moves over as many cylinders as the number of
input pulses. Figure 3.6 shows the pulse timing
conditions.
T1: 3 ms min.
T2: O.8 Usv2 ms
Fig. 3.6 STEP Pulse Specification
DIRECTION SELECT (DIR)
Signal instructing the direction of magnetic head
movement. The HIGH level indicates the direction
toward the outer tracks and the Low level indicates
toward the inner tracks.
This signal must be Switched definitely 0.8 us
before the trailing edge (positive going) of the
STEP signal.
SIDE SELECT (SSL)
Signal selecting one of the heads used for write or
read. The HIGH level selects the magnetic head on
the side "0" of the disk and the Lov level selects
the side "1",
This signal must be switched 1004s before start of
the read/ write operation.
- 21-
WRITE GATE (WGT)
This signal writes data when at LOW level and reads
data when at HIGH level. Do not turn off the HEAD
LOAD sAgael Switch the SIDE SELECT signal, Or
Start positioning, for lms after this Signal has
gone to HIGH level.
WRITE DATA (WDT)
Pulse signal that supplies data to be written to
the disk. Every time the signal changes from HIGH
to LOW level, the write current in the magnetic
head changes direction, which changes the direction
of magnetization on the disk.
Figure 3.7 shows the WRITE DATA specification.

MOTOR ON (MON)
Setting this signal to LOW turns the spindle motor.
Setting this signal to LOW makes the magnetic head
touch the disk.
Output Signals
INDEX (IDX)

is output once every revolution. Figure 3.8 shows
the output pulse specification.
The reading edge of the pulse is used as a
reference.

TRACK 00 (TKO)
When at LOW level, this signal indicates that the
heads are on track "00".
This signal is generated by the signal from the
track 00 sensor and the (excitation) phase of the
step motor.
3.5.3 READY (RDY)
Signal indicating that FDD is ready to operate.
This signal goes to LOW level, when the FDD is
selected, if the following conditions are satisfied:
(i) DC power is supplied.
(ii) A disk is mounted.
(iii) The rotational speed of the floppy disk has
reached 90% of the specification.
3.5.4 READ DATA (RDT)
Data read from a disk which is shaped into a pulse
string.
Figure 3.9 shows the READ DATA signal obtained when
normally recorded information is read.
