FOperation notes

(1)

The quality of these products have been carefully

checked; however, use of the products with applied volt-

ages, operating temperatures, or other parameters that

exceed the absolute maximum rating given may result in

the damage of the IC and the product it is used in. If the

IC is damaged, the short mode and open modes cannot

be specified, so if the IC is to be used in applications

where parameters may exceed the absolute maximum

ratings, then be sure to incorporate fuses, or other physi-

cal safety measures.

(2)

GND potential

The potential for pin 8 must be kept lower than the poten-

sials ofthe other pins regardless of the circumstances.

(3)

Input pins

Voltage should never be applied to the input pins when

electrical characteristics.

(4)

Back-rush voltage

Depending on the ambient conditions, environment, or

motor characteristics, the back-rush voltage may fluctu-

ate. Be sure to confirm that the back-rush voltage will not

adversely affect the operation of the IC.

(5)

Large current line

Large currents are carried by the motor power supply and

motor ground for these ICs.

Therefore, the layout of the pattern of the PC board and

the constants of certain parameters for external compo-

nents, such as the capacitor between the power supply

and ground, may cause this large output current to flow

back to the input pins, resulting in output oscillation or

other malfunctions. To prevent this, make sure that the

PC board layout and external circuit constants cause no

problems with the characteristics of these ICs.

(6)

Power dissipation

The power dissipation will fluctuate depending on the

mounting conditions of the IC and the ambient environ-

ment. Make sure to carefully check the thermal design of

the application where these ICs will be used.

(7)

Power consumption

The power consumption by the IC varies widely with the

power supply voltage and the output current. Give full

consideration to the power dissipation rating and the

thermal resistance data and transient thermal resistance

data, to provide a thermal design so that none of the rat-

ings for the IC are exceeded.

(8)

ASO

Make sure that the output current and supply voltage do

not exceed the ASO values.

(9)

Precautions for input mode switching

To ensure reliability, it is recommended that the mode

switching for the motor pass once through the open

mode.
