Design Notes

The VNQ7008AYTR in PowerSSO-36 package has a thermal resistance of 40 °C/W. When driving all 8 channels at 0.7 A each, total power dissipation can reach 3.9 W (I²R = 8 × 0.7² × 0.7). This would cause a temperature rise of 156 °C above ambient, which is unacceptable. Ensure adequate PCB copper area (at least 2 square inches) and consider forced air cooling for high-duty-cycle operation. For continuous operation, derate the output current or reduce the number of active channels.

Place a 100 nF ceramic capacitor close to the VCC pin and a 10 µF electrolytic capacitor for bulk decoupling. The exposed pad on the PowerSSO-36 package must be soldered to a large copper pour for thermal and electrical grounding. Route SPI signals (SCK, MOSI, MISO, CS) with controlled impedance and keep them away from high-current output traces to minimize noise coupling.

Do not exceed the absolute maximum supply voltage of 28 V. Ensure the SPI interface is properly initialized before enabling any output channel. The diagnostic output is open-drain and requires a pull-up resistor. When using PWM control, ensure the switching frequency does not exceed the device's maximum rating to avoid excessive power dissipation.
