Barracuda 2LP Installation Guide, Rev. E 17
1
Measured with an average reading DC ammeter. Instanta-
neous +12V current peaks will exceed these values.
2
A −10% tolerance is permissible during initial start of the
spindle but must return to ±5% before reaching 7,200 RPM.
The ±5% must be maintained after the drive signifies that its
power-up sequence has been completed and that the drive
is able to accept selection by the host initiator.
3
See the +12V current profile in the
Barracuda 2LP Product
Manual
(publication number 83328930).
4
This condition occurs when the Motor Start option is enabled
and the drive has not yet received a Start Motor command.
5
See “Conducted noise immunity” in the
Barracuda 2LP
Product Manual.
The specified voltage tolerance is inclusive
of ripple, noise, and transient response.
6
At power-up, the motor current regulator limits the +12V
current to an average value of less than 1.4A, although
instantaneous peaks may exceed this value. These peaks
should measure 5 msec duration or less.
7
Minimum current loading for each supply voltage is not less
than 4% of the maximum operating current shown.
8
Use separate ground returns for +5 and +12V supplies.
9
Where power is provided to multiple drives from a common
supply, carefully consider individual-drive power require-
ments. Where multiple units are powered on simultaneously,
be sure the peak starting current is available to each device.
10
Operating condition is a third-stroke seek at OD and read
one Track. The command is issued every 0.075 seconds
(every 0.063 seconds on wide and SCA drives).
