Abstract
Systems, methods, apparatus, and techniques are provided for controlling synchronization of a write clock. A frequency offset is estimated based, at least partially, on a location of the servo synchronization marker to produce the frequency offset estimate. A phase correction value and a frequency correction value associated with the write clock are obtained, and a data clock timing control signal is produced based on the frequency offset estimate, the phase correction value, and the frequency correction value. The data clock timing control signal is applied to a phase interpolator to modify a phase of the write clock.
