6.3 Recommended Operating Conditions

over operating free-air temperature range (unless otherwise noted)
MIN MAX UNIT
VVM Supply voltage range for normal (DC) operation 4.2 33 V
VI Logic level input voltage 0 5.5 V
VVREF VREF voltage 0.05 3 V
ƒPWM Applied STEP signal (STEP) 0 500(1) kHz
IFS Motor full-scale current (xOUTx) 0 1(2) A
Irms Motor RMS current (xOUTx) 0 0.7(2) A
TA Operating ambient temperature –40 125 °C
TJ Operating junction temperature –40 150 °C
(1) STEP input can operate up to 500 kHz, but system bandwidth is limited by the motor load
(2) Power dissipation and thermal limits must be observed
