[1] Measured with average reading DC ammeter or equivalent sampling scope. Instantaneous current peaks
will exceed these values. Power supply at nominal voltage. Number of drives tested = 6, 35 Degrees C
ambient.
[2] For +12 V, a –10% tolerance is permissible during initial start of spindle, and must return to ±5% before
10,000 rpm is reached. 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 +12 V current profile in Figure 2.
[4] This condition occurs when the Motor Start Option is enabled and the drive has not yet received a Start
Motor command.
[5] See Section 6.2.1 “Conducted Noise Immunity.” Specified voltage tolerance is inclusive of ripple, noise,
and transient response.
[6] Operating condition is defined as random 8 block reads at:
257 I/Os per second (ST3300007) LVD
257 I/Os per second (ST3146707) LVD
256 I/Os per second (ST373207) LVD
Current and power specified at nominal voltages. Decreasing +5 volts by 5% increases 5 volt current by
<0.5%. Decreasing +12 volt supply by 5% increases 12 volt current by 1.4% (2% for ST3146707 and
ST373207 models).
[7] During idle, the drive heads are relocated every 60 seconds to a random location within the band from
