Apparatus and methods are disclosed that adjust the phase of a read/write
clock signal. The read/write clock signal may be used in a data storage
apparatus to regulate reading/writing on a data storage media. An
apparatus includes an adjustment circuit that adjusts phase of an edge of
a read/write clock signal based on the timing of information that is read
from a data storage media. Another apparatus includes a servo circuit and
a read/write channel circuit. The servo circuit generates a leading edge
transition of a servo gate signal in response to a signal indicating that
a read/write transducer is approaching a start of a servo wedge. The
read/write channel circuit generates a trailing edge transition of the
servo gate signal in response to occurrence of a defined time delay
following the transducer reading a servo address mark from the servo
wedge.
