Technical Note
(8) ASO
When using the IC, set the output transistor so that it does not exceed absolute maximum ratings or ASO.
(9) Thermal shutdown circuit (TSD)
This IC incorporates a TSD circuit. If the chip becomes the following temperature, coil output to the motor will be open.
The TSD circuit is designed only to shut the IC off to prevent runaway thermal operation. It is not designed to protect the
IC or guarantee its operation. Do not continue to use the IC after operating this circuit or use the IC in an environment
where the operation of the TSD circuit is assumed.

(10) Regarding input pin of the IC
This monolithic IC contains P+ isolation and P substrate layers between adjacent elements in order to keep them isolated.
P/N junctions are formed at the intersection of these P layers with the N layers of other elements to create a variety of
parasitic elements.
For example, when the resistors and transistors are connected to the pins as shown in Fig. 18,
○the P/N junction functions as a parasitic diode
when GND > (Pin A) for the resistor or GND > (Pin B) for the transistor (NPN).
○Similarly, when GND > (Pin B) for the transistor (NPN), the parasitic diode described above combines
with the N layer of other adjacent elements to operate as a parasitic NPN transistor.
The formation of parasitic elements as a result of the relationships of the potentials of different pins is an inevitable result
of the IC's architecture. The operation of parasitic elements can cause interference with circuit operation as well as IC
malfunction and damage. For these reasons, it is necessary to use caution so that the IC is not used in a way that will
trigger the operation of parasitic elements, such as by the application of voltages lower than the GND (P substrate)
voltage to input pins.

(11) Testing on application boards
When testing the IC on an application board, connecting a capacitor to a pin with low impedance subjects the IC to stress.
Always discharge capacitors after each process or step. Ground the IC during assembly steps as an antistatic measure,
and use similar caution when transporting or storing the IC. Always turn the IC's power supply off before connecting it to
or removing it from a jig or fixture during the inspection process.
(12) Ground Wiring Pattern
When using both small signal and large current GND patterns, it is recommended to isolate the two ground patterns,
placing a single ground point at the application's reference point so that the pattern wiring resistance and voltage
variations caused by large currents do not cause variations in the small signal ground voltage. Be careful not to change
the GND wiring pattern of any external parts, either.
