Instructions for Using DS8863N

1. Power Supply Connection:

   • Connect the VCC pin to the power supply voltage (4.5V to 18V).
   • Connect the GND pin to the ground.

2. Input Signal Connection:

   • Connect the input signals (IN1 and IN2) to the control logic or microcontroller.
   • Ensure that the input voltage levels are within the range of 0V to VCC.

3. Output Load Connection:

   • Connect the output pins (OUT1 and OUT2) to the gates of the N-channel MOSFETs.
   • Ensure that the load current does not exceed the maximum output current capability of the DS8863N.

4. Heat Dissipation:

   • If operating at high currents or temperatures, ensure proper heat dissipation by using a heatsink or thermal pad.
   • Monitor the junction temperature to avoid exceeding the maximum junction temperature (TJ(MAX)).

5. Propagation Delay:

   • The propagation delay (tPD) is the time it takes for the output to respond to a change in the input signal. Ensure that your system timing accounts for this delay.

6. Operating Temperature:

   • The DS8863N can operate over a wide temperature range (-40°C to 125°C). Ensure that the ambient temperature and any additional heat generated by the device do not exceed these limits.

7. Storage Temperature:

   • Store the device in a dry environment with temperatures ranging from -65°C to 150°C to prevent damage.

8. ESD Protection:

   • Handle the DS8863N with care to avoid electrostatic discharge (ESD), which can damage the device. Use ESD-safe practices when handling and soldering the device.

By following these instructions, you can ensure reliable operation of the DS8863N in your application.
