Talaan ng Disenyo
The PowerSO-20 package has an exposed pad that must be soldered to a large copper area on the PCB to ensure adequate heat dissipation. For continuous operation at 1.2A per channel, calculate the power dissipation and ensure the junction temperature stays below 150°C. Use thermal vias to improve heat transfer to the ground plane.
Place 100nF and 10uF decoupling capacitors close to the VS pins to suppress voltage spikes during motor switching. Use a star-ground topology to minimize ground bounce. Keep the SPI lines short and shielded to avoid noise coupling from the motor currents.
Do not exceed the absolute maximum supply voltage of 40V. Ensure the motor's back-EMF is clamped with external flyback diodes if the motor is not internally protected. The SPI interface must be configured correctly to avoid unintended motor activation. Always enable the device after proper initialization.
