●Cautions on use

(1) Absolute maximum ratings

If applied voltage, operating temperature range, or other absolute maximum ratings are exceeded, the LSI may

be damaged.

Do not apply voltages or temperatures that exceed the absolute maximum ratings.

If you think

of a case in which absolute maximum ratings are exceeded, enforce fuses or other physical safety measures

and investigate how not to apply the conditions under which absolute maximum ratings are exceeded to the LSI.

(2) GND potential

Make the GND pin voltage such that it is the lowest voltage even when operating below it.

Actually confirm

that the voltage of each pin does not become a lower voltage than the GND pin, including transient phenomena.

(3) Thermal design

Perform thermal design in which there are adequate margins by taking into account the allowable power

dissipation in actual states of use.

(4) Shorts between pins and misinstallation

When mounting the LSI on a board, pay adequate attention to orientation and placement discrepancies of the

LSI.

If it is misinstalled and the power is turned on, the LSI may be damaged.

It also may be damaged if it is

shorted by a foreign substance coming between pins of the LSI or between a pin and a power supply or a pin

and a GND.

(5) Operation in strong magnetic fields

Adequately evaluate use in a strong magnetic field, since there is a possibility of malfunction.
