PRODUCTION DATA
Although quiescent VDD current is very low, total supply current is higher, depending on the OUTA and OUTB current and the programmed oscillator frequency. The total VDD current is the sum of quiescent VDD current and the average OUT current. With the known operating frequency and the MOSFET gate charge (Qg), use Equation 1 to calculate the average OUT current.

For the best high-speed circuit performance, two VDD bypass capacitors are recommended to prevent noise problems. The use of surface mount components is highly recommended. A 0.1-μF ceramic capacitor must be located closest to the VDD to ground connection. In addition, a larger capacitor (such as 1-μF) with relatively low ESR must be connected in parallel, to help deliver the high current peaks to the load. The parallel combination of capacitors must present a low impedance characteristic for the expected current levels in the driver application
