Abstract
A servo control apparatus which can accurately control the head with a simplified structure has a voltage controlled oscillator which is controlled in accordance with servo information stored in a servo data region of the disk, and a reversible counter which counts an output signal of the voltage controlled oscillator to convert it to a digital signal corresponding to the amount of deviation of the head from a target track. The digital signal is used for position control for accurate positioning of the head.
