Instructions for Use:

1. Supply Voltage (VCC):

   • Ensure the supply voltage is within the range of 8V to 50V.
   • Avoid exceeding the maximum voltage to prevent damage to the device.

2. Operating Temperature (Toper):

   • The device can operate in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 125°C.
   • Ensure proper heat dissipation to maintain operating temperature within this range.

3. Storage Temperature (Tstg):

   • Store the device in temperatures between -65°C and 150°C to avoid degradation.

4. Maximum Current per Phase (Iphase):

   • Do not exceed 4A per phase to prevent overheating and potential damage.

5. Maximum PWM Frequency (fPWM):

   • The device supports PWM frequencies up to 20kHz. Higher frequencies may cause instability or reduced performance.

6. Thermal Resistance (θJA):

   • The thermal resistance is typically 45°C/W. Ensure adequate cooling to manage heat dissipation.

7. Output Low Voltage (VOL):

   • When the output is low, the voltage should be between 0.4V and 0.6V at a current of 2A.

8. Output High Voltage (VOH):

   • When the output is high, the voltage should be between 11V and 12V at a current of -2A.

9. Short-Circuit Protection (SCP):

   • The device has built-in short-circuit protection with automatic recovery. However, prolonged short circuits can still cause damage.

10. Over-Temperature Shutdown (OTSD):

    • The device will automatically shut down if the temperature exceeds safe limits and will recover once the temperature returns to normal.

Additional Notes:

• Always refer to the datasheet for detailed specifications and application notes.
• Proper PCB layout and heat sinking are crucial for reliable operation.
• Ensure all connections are secure and free from shorts or open circuits.
