Operational Notes

1. Reverse Connection of Power Supply

Connecting the power supply in reverse polarity can damage the IC. Take precautions against reverse polarity when

connecting the power supply, such as mounting an external diode between the power supply and the IC’s power

supply pins.

2. Power Supply Lines

Design the PCB layout pattern to provide low impedance supply lines. Furthermore, connect a capacitor to ground at

all power supply pins. Consider the effect of temperature and aging on the capacitance value when using electrolytic

capacitors.

3. Ground Voltage

Ensure that no pins are at a voltage below that of the ground pin at any time, even during transient condition.

4. Ground Wiring Pattern

When using both small-signal and large-current ground traces, the two ground traces should be routed separately but

connected to a single ground at the reference point of the application board to avoid fluctuations in the small-signal

ground caused by large currents. Also ensure that the ground traces of external components do not cause variations

on the ground voltage. The ground lines must be as short and thick as possible to reduce line impedance.

5. Operating Conditions

The function and operation of the IC are guaranteed within the range specified by the operating conditions. The

characteristic values are guaranteed only under the conditions of each item specified by the electrical characteristics.

6. Inrush Current

When power is first supplied to the IC, it is possible that the internal logic may be unstable and inrush current may

flow instantaneously due to the internal powering sequence and delays, especially if the IC has more than one power

supply. Therefore, give special consideration to power coupling capacitance, power wiring, width of ground wiring, and

routing of connections.

7. Operation Under Strong Electromagnetic Field

Operating the IC in the presence of a strong electromagnetic field may cause the IC to malfunction.

8. Testing on Application Boards

When testing the IC on an application board, connecting a capacitor directly to a low-impedance output pin may

subject the IC to stress. Always discharge capacitors completely after each process or step. The IC’s power supply

should always be turned off completely before connecting or removing it from the test setup during the inspection

process. To prevent damage from static discharge, ground the IC during assembly and use similar precautions during

transport and storage.

9. Inter-pin Short and Mounting Errors

Ensure that the direction and position are correct when mounting the IC on the PCB. Incorrect mounting may result in

damaging the IC. Avoid nearby pins being shorted to each other especially to ground, power supply and output pin.

Inter-pin shorts could be due to many reasons such as metal particles, water droplets (in very humid environment) and

unintentional solder bridge deposited in between pins during assembly to name a few.

10. Unused Input Pins

Input pins of an IC are often connected to the gate of a MOS transistor. The gate has extremely high impedance and

extremely low capacitance. If left unconnected, the electric field from the outside can easily charge it. The small

charge acquired in this way is enough to produce a significant effect on the conduction through the transistor and

cause unexpected operation of the IC. So unless otherwise specified, unused input pins should be connected to the

power supply or ground line.

11. Regarding the Input Pin of the IC

In the construction of this IC, P-N junctions are inevitably formed creating parasitic diodes or transistors. The

operation of these parasitic elements can result in mutual interference among circuits, operational faults, or physical

damage. Therefore, conditions which cause these parasitic elements to operate, such as applying a voltage to an

input pin lower than the ground voltage should be avoided. Furthermore, do not apply a voltage to the input pins when

no power supply voltage is applied to the IC. Even if the power supply voltage is applied, make sure that the input pins

have voltages within the values specified in the electrical characteristics of this IC.

12. Ceramic Capacitor

When using a ceramic capacitor, determine a capacitance value considering the change of capacitance with

temperature and the decrease in nominal capacitance due to DC bias and others.
