20 Cheetah 9LP FC Product Manual, Rev. C
6.2.1 Conducted noise immunity
Noise is specified as a periodic and random distribution of frequencies covering a band from DC to 10 MHz.
Maximum allowed noise values given below are peak-to-peak measurements and apply at the drive power
connector.
6.2.2 Power sequencing
The drive does not require power sequencing. The drive protects against inadvertent writing during power-up
and down.
6.2.3 Current profiles
Figure 3 identifies the drive +12V current profile. The current during the various times is as shown:

T0 Power is applied to the drive.
T1 Controller self-tests are performed.
T2 Spindle begins to accelerate under current limiting after performing internal diagnostics.
T3 Spindle is up to speed and the Head-Arm restraint is unlocked.
Note:
All times and currents are typical. See Table 1 for maximum current requirements.
6.3 Power dissipation
Typical seek power dissipation is 15.6 watts (53 BTUs per hour) of DC power average at nominal voltages. Typ-
ical power dissipation under idle conditions is 13.7 watts (47 BTUs per hour).
