1.8 INTRODUCTION

The ST425 is Seagate's 25.52 Megabyte, 5 1/4 inch

Winchester disc drive. The ST425 has a formatted

capacity of 20.0 Megabytes.

The ST425 is the newest addition to the ST400 family of

disc drives, and has the same interface, power supply

and controller requirements as the industry standard

Seagate ST406/412/419 series.

Minislider heads and an advanced stepper motor design

enable higher track density. The new head design allows

increased bit packing which utilizes more of the disc

surface. High reliability is assured through the use of

Seagate's proven metal band-actuator, stepper motor head

positioner and a direct-drive brushless DC spindle

motor. The spindle motor assembly is aynamically

balanced and the Head Disc Assembly (HDA) is shock-

mounted to reduce vibration.

The low mass/load force of the MiniWinchester heads and

the lubricated oxide coated media provide reliable

start/stop operation. Each disc surface is read by two

read/write heads. The HDA, which includes the read/write

heads, discs and band-actuator assembly, is completely

sealed and protected by a captured-air-space

recirculation system employing a 0.3 micron absolute

filter. A filtered port permits ambient air pressure

equalization.

Thermal stabilization delays are unnecessary with the

ST425. The spindle pump assures adequate air flow and

uniform temperature distribution throughout the HDA.

This allows significantly greater off-track margin and

immediate read/write ability after power-up.

Only DC voltages (+5 and +12 V DC) are required. All

electronics are packaged a single printed circuit board.

The board is mounted outside the sealed media area

allowing easy field access without risking media

integrity. Simplification of mechanical and electrical

design provides a projected service life of more than

11,000 hours Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF).

2.0 THEORY OF OPERATIONS

2.1 General Interface Description

The ST425 Winchester supports the Seagate ST506/412

Interface.

The interface consists of a 34 pin control connector, a

20 pin read/write connector and a 4 pin DC connector.

The 34 pin connector provides 10 control signals to the

drive and returns 5 status signals to the controller.

The 20 pin connector handles the Modified Frequency

Modulation (MFM) data to/from the drive and supplies the

drive-selected status to the controller. The 4 pin

connector provides +5 and +12 Volts DC.

In general, the control connector is "daisy-chain"

terminated throughout the user system, while the

read/write connector is terminated radially. The

following tables indicate the ST425 interface

requir'ements.
