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.

Recommended Operating Conditions

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

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.
