○Cautions on use
(1) Ab solute Maximum Ra tings
An excess in the absolute maximum ratings, such as supply voltage, temperature range of operating conditions, etc.,
can break down devices, thus making impossible to identify breaking mode such as a short circuit or an open circuit. If
any special mode exceed ing the abso lute maximum r atings is assumed, con sideration should be given to t ake physica l
safety measures includ ing the u se of fuse s, etc.
(2) Operating conditions
These conditions represent a range within which characteristics can be provided approximately as expected. The
electrical characteristics are guarant eed under the con ditions o f each p arameter.
(3) Reverse connect ion of pow er supply connector
The reverse connection of power supply connector can break down ICs. Take protective measures against the
breakdown due to the reverse connection, such as mounting an external diode between the power supply and the
IC’s pow er supply term inal.
(4) Power supply line
Design PCB pattern to provide low impedance for the wiring between the power supply and the GND lines.In this
regard, for the digit al block power supply and the analog blo ck power supply, even though these power supplies has the
same level of potential, separate the power supply pattern for the digital block from that for the analog block, thus
suppressing the diffraction of digital noises to the analog block power supply resulting from impedance common to the
wiring pattern s. For the GND line, give con sideration to desig n the p atterns in a simi lar manner.
Furthermore, for all power supply ter minal s to ICs, mo unt a cap acitor betw een the pow er supp ly and the GND termina l.
At the same time, in order to use an electrolytic capacitor, thoroughly check to be sure the characteristics of the
capacitor to be used present no problem including the occurrence of capacity dropout at a low temperature, thus
determining the constant.
(5) GND voltage
Make setting of the potential of the GND terminal so that it will be maintained at the minimum in any operating state.
Furthermore, check to be sure no terminals are at a potential lower than the GND voltage including an actual electric
transient.
(6) Short circuit between term inals and erroneous mo unting
In order to mount ICs on a set PCB, p ay thoroug h a tte ntio n to the direction and off se t o f th e IC s. Erron eous mounting
can break down the ICs. Furthermore, if a short circuit occurs due to foreign matters entering between terminals or
between the terminal and t he power sup ply or the GND terminal, the ICs can br eak down.
(7) Operation in strong ele ctromagnetic fie ld
Be noted that using ICs in th e strong ele ctromagnetic field can malfun ction them.
(8) Inspection with set PC B
On the inspection with the set PCB, if a capacitor is connected to a low-impedance IC terminal, the IC can suffer
stress. Therefore, be sure to discharge from the set PCB by each process. Furthermore, in order to mount or
dismount the set PCB to /from the jig for the insp ection process, b e sure to turn OFF the pow er supply and then mo unt
the set PCB to the jig. After the completion of the inspection , be sure to turn OFF the power su pply and then dismou nt
it from the jig. In addition, for protection against static electricity, establish a ground for the assembly process and pay
thorough attention to t he transp ortat ion and the st orage of the set PCB.
(9)Input terminals
In terms of the construct ion of IC, parasitic element s are inev it ably formed in re lation to potentia l. The o peration of the
parasitic element can cause interference with circuit operation, thus resulting in a malfunction and then breakdown of
the input terminal. Therefore, pay thorough attention not to handle the input terminals, such as to apply to the input
terminals a voltage lower than the GND respectively, so that any parasitic element will operate. Furthermore, do not
apply a volta ge to the input terminals when no power supply volt age is applied to the IC. In addition, eve n if the pow er
supply voltage is applied, apply to the input terminals a voltage lower than the power supply voltage or within the
guaranteed value of electrical character istics.
(10) Ground wiring pattern
If small-signal GND and large-current GND are provided, It will be recommended to separate the large-current GND
pattern from the small-signal GND pattern and establish a single ground at the reference point of the set PCB so that
resistance to the wiring pattern and voltage fluctuations due to a large current will ca use no flu ctua tions in vo ltages of
the small-signa l GND. Pay attention not to cause fluctuatio ns in the GND wiring p attern of external p art s as well.
(11) External capacitor
In order to use a ceramic capacitor as the external capacitor, determine the constant with consideration given to a
degradation in the nom inal cap acit ance due to DC bia s and changes in the cap acita nce due to tempera ture, etc.
