(1)

The algebraic convention in which the least positive (most negative) limit is designated as minimum is used in this data sheet.

(2)

Operation is specified for internal (junction) temperatures up to 150°C. Self-heating due to internal power dissipation should be

considered for each application. Maximum junction temperature is internally limited by the thermal shut-down (TSD) circuit which

disables the driver outputs when the junction temperature reaches 170°C.
