Caution 1) Absolute maximum ratings represent the value which cannot be exceeded for any length of time.
Caution 2) Even when the device is used within the range of absolute maximum ratings, as a result of continuous usage
under high temperature, high current, high voltage, or drastic temperature change, the reliability of the IC may
be degraded. Please contact us for the further details.
Stresses exceeding Maximum Ratings may damage the device. Maximum Ratings are stress ratings only. Functional operation above the Recommended Operating
Conditions is not implied. Extended exposure to stresses above the Recommended Operating Conditions may affect device reliability.

As shown in the left diagram, the Vcont pin outputs the
voltage of the band gap Zener VZ +VF (= 1.93V).
In normal use, this pin is left open.
The drive current ID is varied by the Vcont voltage.
However, because the band gap Zener is shared, it
functions as a bridge.
The motor can stop by making vcont terminal GND in
emergency.

5. Thermal Shutdown circuit
The thermal shutdown circuit in incorporated and the output is turned off when junction temperature Tj
exceeds 180C and the abnormal state warning output is turned on. As the temperature falls by hysteresis,
the output turned on again (automatic restoration).
The thermal shutdown circuit does not guarantee the protection of the final product because it operates
when the temperature exceed the junction temperature of Tjmax=150C.
TSD = 180C (typ)
TSD = 40C (typ)
