Instructions for Use:

1. Supply Voltage:

   • Ensure the supply voltage is within the range of 4.5V to 5.5V to avoid damage to the device.

2. Output Current:

   • The maximum output current per channel is 2.0A. Do not exceed this limit to prevent overheating and potential failure.

3. Short-Circuit Protection:

   • The device has built-in short-circuit protection, but it should not be relied upon as a substitute for proper circuit design. Limit the duration of short circuits to avoid excessive power dissipation.

4. Thermal Shutdown:

   • The device will automatically shut down if the junction temperature exceeds 170°C. Allow the device to cool before resuming operation.

5. Operating Temperature:

   • The operating temperature range is from -40°C to 125°C. Ensure the ambient temperature does not exceed these limits.

6. Storage Temperature:

   • Store the device in an environment where the temperature ranges from -65°C to 150°C.

7. Maximum Junction Temperature:

   • The maximum junction temperature should not exceed 150°C to ensure reliable operation.

8. Power Dissipation:

   • The maximum power dissipation for the package is 2.5W. Ensure adequate heat sinking or cooling if operating near this limit.

9. Quiescent Current:

   • Each driver consumes a quiescent current of 0.5 to 1.0mA. This should be considered in low-power applications.

Additional Notes:

• Always refer to the datasheet for detailed specifications and application notes.
• Proper PCB layout and thermal management are crucial for reliable operation.
• Use appropriate decoupling capacitors close to the supply pins to minimize noise and improve stability.
