1 Measured with an average reading DC ammeter. Instanta-
neous +12V current peaks will exceed these values.

−
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).
