Components in the test circuits are used only to obtain and confirm the device characteristics. These

components and circuits are not guaranteed to prevent malfunction or failure from occurring in the

application equipment.

IC Usage Considerations

Notes on handling of ICs

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] Use an appropriate power supply fuse to ensure that a large current does not continuously flow in

case of over current and/or IC failure. The IC will fully break down when used under conditions that

exceed its absolute maximum ratings, when the wiring is routed improperly or when an abnormal

pulse noise occurs from the wiring or load, causing a large current to continuously flow and the

breakdown can lead smoke or ignition. To minimize the effects of the flow of a large current in case

of breakdown, appropriate settings, such as fuse capacity, fusing time and insertion circuit location,

are required.

[3] If your design includes an inductive load such as a motor coil, incorporate a protection circuit into

the design to prevent device malfunction or breakdown caused by the current resulting from the

inrush current at power ON or the negative current resulting from the back electromotive force at

power OFF. IC breakdown may cause injury, smoke or ignition.

Use a stable power supply with ICs with built-in protection functions. If the power supply is

unstable, the protection function may not operate, causing IC breakdown. IC breakdown may cause

injury, smoke or ignition.

[4] 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.
