1.7.1.1 Typical current profile
Figure 1 shows a typical current profile for the Medalist 3240 and the
Medalist 2531.
1.7.2 Conducted noise
Input noise ripple is measured at the host system power supply across
an equivalent 80-ohm resistive load on the +12 volt line or an equivalent
15 ohm resistive load on the +5 volt line.
Using 12-volt power the drive is expected to operate with a maximum
of 120 mV peak-to-peak triangular-wave injected noise at up to 25
MHz.
Using 5-volt power the drive is expected to operate with a maximum
of 100 mV peak-to-peak triangular-wave injected noise at up to 25
MHz.
Note
. Equivalent resistance is calculated by dividing the nominal volt-
age by the typical RMS read/write current.

Voltage tolerance (including noise): ± 5%
