Notes:
*1 : The values under the condition not exceeding the above absolute maximum ratings and the power dissipation.
The voltage of the charge pump circuit voltage will exceed the supply voltage. The limit voltage of the charge pump is
shown on page 7.
*2 : The power dissipation shown is the value at Ta = 85˚C for the independent (unmounted) IC package without a heat sink.
When using this IC, refer to the PD-Ta diagram of the package standard and design the heat radiation with sufficient margin
so that the allowable value might not be exceeded based on the conditions of power supply voltage, load, and ambient
temperature.
*3 : Except for the power dissipation, operating ambient temperature, and storage temperature, all ratings are for Ta = 25˚C.
*4 : Design the heat radiation with sufficient margin so that the allowable value might not be exceeded based on the time
conditions which the drive output current 6 000 mA is allowed within1 ms and 3 500 mA is allowed within 10 ms and
2 000 mA is allowed within 100 ms. However, the output frequency f requires that f ≤ 5 Hz.
*5 : Do not apply voltage or current from outside to these pin. The setting not exceeding the rating, even transiently, is required.
For the circuit currents, “+” denotes current flowing into the IC, and “–” denotes current flowing out of the IC.

(8) Others: Applications of which reliability equivalent to (1) to (7) is required
2. Pay attention to the direction of IC. When mounting it in the wrong direction onto the printed-circuit-board (PCB),
it might smoke or ignite.
3. Pay attention in the PCB pattern layout in order to prevent damage due to short circuit between pins. In addition,
refer to the Pin Description for the pin configuration.
4. Perform a visual inspection on the PCB before applying power, otherwise damage might happen due to problems
such as a solder-bridge between the pins of the semiconductor device. Also, perform a full technical verification
on the assembly quality, because the same damage possibly can happen due to conductive substances, such as
solder ball, that adhere to the IC during transportation.
5. Take notice in the use of this product that it might break or occasionally smoke when an abnormal state occurs
such as output pin-VCC short (Power supply fault), output pin-GND short (Ground fault), or output-to-output-pin
short (load short) .
And, safety measures such as an installation of fuses are recommended because the extent of the abovementioned damage and smoke emission will depend on the current capability of the power supply.
6. When designing your equipment, comply with the range of absolute maximum rating and the guaranteed
operating conditions (operating power supply voltage and operating environment etc.). Especially, be careful
not to exceed the range of absolute maximum rating on the transient state, such as power-on, power-off and
mode-switching. Otherwise, we will not be liable for any defect which may arise later in your equipment.
Even when the products are used within the guaranteed values, take into the consideration of incidence of
break down and failure mode, possible to occur to semiconductor products. Measures on the systems such as
redundant design, arresting the spread of fire or preventing glitch are recommended in order to prevent physical
injury, fire, social damages, for example, by using the products.
7. When using the IC for new models, verify the safety including the long-term reliability for each product.
8. When the application system is designed by using this IC, be sure to confirm notes in this book.
Be sure to read the notes to descriptions and the usage notes in the book.
9. Due to unshielded structure of this IC, under exposure of light, function and characteristic of the product cannot be
guaranteed. During normal operation or even under testing condition, ensure that IC is not exposed to light.
10. Basically, chip surface is ground potential. Design to ensure no contact between chip surface and metal shielding.

Usage Notes (continued)
• Notes of Power IC
1. The protection circuit is for maintaining safety against abnormal operation. Therefore, the protection circuit should
not work during normal operation.
Especially for the thermal protection circuit, if the area of safe operation (ASO) or the absolute maximum rating
is momentarily exceeded due to output pin to VCC short (Power supply fault), or output pin to GND short
(Ground fault), the IC might be damaged before the thermal protection circuit could operate.
2. Unless specified in the product specifications, make sure that negative voltage or excessive voltage are not
applied to the pins because the device might be damaged, which could happen due to negative voltage or
excessive voltage generated during the ON and OFF timing when the inductive load of a motor coil or actuator
coils of optical pick-up is being driven.
3. The product which has specified ASO should be operated in ASO.
4. Verify the risks which might be caused by the malfunctions of external components.

Usage Notes (continued)
• Notes of this IC
1. Make sure to power on, off, and switching under the standby mode (STBY = Low).
2. Apply voltage from a low-impedance source to VDD and VM. Connect a bypass capacitor to each as near the IC
as possible.
3. In case of that the output is changed into Hi-Z (INA = INB = Low) in the rotation of motor, due to the motor current
to flow back into a power source, the supply voltage might rise.
4. If the error detection circuit is active, all outputs are fixed in Hi-Z during the specified time (470 µs 30%).
The function is for safety improvements and is not guaranteed nondestructive control.
5. Check the characteristics carefully before using this IC.
Preserve sufficient margin in consideration of dispersion of external components and our ICs including not only
static characteristics but transition characteristics when using this IC changing external circuit constants.
6. Prohibit mounting with solder dipping and mounting to a flexible cable.
7. The heat thermal resistance is variable due to the mounted status of this IC. To reduce the heat thermal
resistance, it is recommended that the power supply and GND pins are connected to a wide metal layer as short
as possible.
Refer to the following figure shown an example of a wiring pattern.
