Instructions for Using L6219DS

1. Power Supply:

   • Ensure the supply voltage (V_DD) is within the range of 4.5V to 30V.
   • Use appropriate decoupling capacitors (e.g., 100nF and 10μF) close to the power pins to stabilize the supply.

2. Output Current:

   • The maximum continuous output current per channel is 2.5A.
   • The peak output current can go up to 3.5A for short durations.
   • Ensure proper heat sinking if operating at high currents to manage power dissipation.

3. Thermal Management:

   • The maximum power dissipation is 40W at 25°C ambient temperature.
   • Use a heatsink if the device is expected to operate near its maximum power dissipation to avoid overheating.

4. Operating Temperature:

   • The device can operate from -40°C to 85°C ambient temperature.
   • Store the device between -65°C and 150°C.

5. Input Logic Levels:

   • Logic high input voltage (V_IH) should be at least 2.0V.
   • Logic low input voltage (V_IL) should be no more than 0.8V.

6. Output Voltages:

   • When the output is low, the voltage (V_OL) will be around 1.2V with a load current of 2.5A.
   • When the output is high, the voltage (V_OH) will be V_DD - 1.2V with a load current of -2.5A.

7. Short-Circuit Protection:

   • The device has built-in short-circuit protection that limits the current to approximately 4.0A.

8. Standby Mode:

   • To put the device into standby mode, set all inputs to low. The standby current (I_SD) is typically 10μA.

9. Layout Considerations:

   • Keep the layout compact to minimize parasitic inductances and resistances.
   • Use wide traces for power and ground lines to reduce resistance and improve thermal performance.

10. Application Notes:

    • Refer to the datasheet for detailed application notes and circuit diagrams to ensure optimal performance in your specific application.
