{ CAUTIONS ON USE
(1) The BA5955FP incorporates a TSD circuit (overheat protection circuit) and a reset circuit. When the
chip temperature has reached 175 (typ.), the output current will be muted while the reset output will
become ‘L’ and, when the chip temperature has dropped to 150 (typ.), the mute function will be reset
while the reset output will be ‘H.’ The reset output also becomes ‘L in the standby state.
(2) When the power supply voltage (PreVcc) has dropped to 3.8V (typ.) or less, the output current will be
muted while the reset output will become ‘L’ and, when PreVcc has recovered to 4.0V (typ.), the driver
part circuit will be initiated to set the reset output to ‘H.’
(3) When the reference input (Vc) voltage has dropped to 0.8V (typ.) or less, the output current will be
muted while the reset output will become ‘L.’
Under conditions of normal use, it should be 1.2V (typ.) or above.
(4) Thermal shutdown or a drop of reference voltage or power suppl y voltage will activate the mute
function, where only the driver part can be muted. While muting, the voltage at the output terminal will
equal to the internal reference voltage (approximately PowVcc/2).
(5) Connecting a capacitive load to the OP-AMP output results in a phase margin reduction of the amp and
may cause an oscillation or a peak. When connecting a capacitive load, a resistance must be
inserted in series between the output and the capacitive load. And after careful consideration of the
frequency characteristics, the device should be used within the range where no problem is found in
actual use.
(6) A radiating fin must be connected to the external GND.
(7) Short-circuits between output pin-VCC, output pin-GND, or output terminals (load short) must be
avoided.
Mounting the ICs in improper directions may damage them or produce smoke.
(8) About absolute maximum ratings
Exceeding the absolute maximum ratings, such as the applied voltage or the operating temperature
range, may cause permanent device damage. As these cases cannot be limited to the broken short
mode or the open mode, if a special mode where the absolute maximum ratings may be exceeded is
assumed, it is recommended to take mechanical safety measures such as attaching fuses.
(9) About power supply lines
As a measure against the back current regenerated by a counter electromotive force of the motor, a
capacitor to be used as a regenerated-current path can be installed between the power supply an d
GND and its capacitance value should be determined after careful check that any problems, for
example, a leak capacitance of the electrolytic capacitor at low temperature, are not found in various
characteristics.
(10) About GND potential
The electric potential of the GND terminal must be kept lowest in the circuitry at any operation states.
(11) About thermal design
With consideration of the power dissipation (Pd) under conditions of actual use, a thermal design
provided with an enough margin should be done.
(12) About operations in a strong electric field
When used in a strong electric field, note that a malfunction may occur.
(13) ASO
When using this IC, the output Tr must be set not to exceed the values specified in the absolute
maximum ratings and ASO.
(14) Thermal shutdown circuit
This IC incorporates a thermal shutdown circuit (TSD circuit). When the chip temperature reaches the
value shown below, the coil output to the motor will be set to open.
The thermal shutdown circuit is designed only to shut off the IC from a thermal runaway and not
intended to protect or guarantee the entire IC functions.
Therefore, users cannot assume that the TSD circuit once activated can be used continuously in the
subsequent operations.

(15) About earth wiring patterns
When a small signal GND and a large current GND are provided, it is recommended that the large
current GND pattern and the small signal GND pattern should be separated and grounded at a single
point of the reference point of the set in order to prevent the voltage of the small signal GND from being
affected by a voltage change caused by the resistance of the pattern wiring and the large current.
Make sure that the GND wiring patterns of the external components will not change, too.
(16) This IC is a monolithic IC which has a P+ isolations and P substrate to isolate elements each other.
This P layer and an N layer in each element form a PN junction to construct various parasitic elements.
Due to the IC structure, the parasitic elements are inevitably created by the potential relationship.
Activation of the parasitic elements can cause interference between circuits and may result in a
malfunction or, consequently, a fatal damage. Therefore, make sure that the IC must not be used
under conditions that may activate the parasitic elements, for example, applying the lower voltage than
the ground level (GND, P substrate) to the input terminals.
In addition, do not apply the voltage to input terminals without applying the power supply voltage to the
IC. Also while applying the power supply voltage, the voltage of each input terminal must not be over
the power supply voltage, or within the guaranteed values in the electric characteristics.
