Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a retract circuit capable of dealing with miniaturization and power supply voltage reduction. SOLUTION: Concerning a retract circuit 13, while a device power source Vcc is turned on, a retract capacitor Cr is charged by a boost voltage Vup (=3×Vcc) generated by a booster circuit 26. When the device power source Vcc is turned off and a voice coil motor (VCM) driver 12 stops operating, a power source OFF is detected by a power source OFF detecting circuit 21 and retract delay time Td is provided by a retract delay circuit 22. After the lapse of the retract delay time Td from the OFF of the device power source, switch circuits 24 and 25 are turned on by a retract driving circuit 23, the retract capacitor Cr charged with the boost voltage Vup is discharged, a discharging current is supplied to a voice coil 5a and a head assembly is retracted.
