8.4 Power Supply Recommendations

This device does not need a power supply. However, the COM pin is typically tied to the system power supply. When this is the case, it is very important to ensure that the output voltage does not heavily exceed the COM pin voltage. This discrepancy heavily forward biases the fly-back diodes and causes a large current to flow into COM, potentially damaging the on-chip metal or over-heating the device.
