Abstract
A control circuit for a hard disk drive (HDD) includes a control chip, a connector connected between the control chip and a motherboard, and a function transform circuit connected between the control chip and the connector. A status pin of the control chip is connected to a status receiving pin of the connector through the function transform circuit, to send a working state signal of the hard disk drive to the status receiving pin of the connector. The status receiving pin shows a normal operation of the HDD through a light emitting diode connected to the status receiving pin. The function transform circuit provides a high level signal to a staggered spin-up pin of the control chip, to make the control chip control the hard disk drive to execute staggered spin-up function.
