IC Usage Considerations
Notes on handling of ICs
[1] The absolute maximum ratings of a semiconductor device are a set of ratings that must not be
exceeded, even for a moment. Do not exceed any of these ratings.
Exceeding the rating(s) may cause the device breakdown, damage or deterioration, and may result
injury by explosion or combustion.
[2] Do not insert devices in the wrong orientation or incorrectly.
Make sure that the positive and negative terminals of power supplies are connected properly.
Otherwise, the current or power consumption may exceed the absolute maximum rating, and
exceeding the rating(s) may cause the device breakdown, damage or deterioration, and may result
injury by explosion or combustion.
In addition, do not use any device that is applied the current with inserting in the wrong orientation
or incorrectly even just one time.
Points to remember on handling of ICs
(1) Back-EMF
When a motor rotates in the reverse direction, stops or slows down abruptly, a current flow back to the motor’s
power supply due to the effect of back-EMF. If the current sink capability of the power supply is small, the
device’s motor power supply and output pins might be exposed to conditions beyond maximum ratings. To avoid
this problem, take the effect of back-EMF into consideration in system design.
