21 ESD Sensitive Device
The TMC262 is an ESD-sensitive CMOS device and sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Take special care
to use adequate grounding of personnel and machines in manual handling. After soldering the
devices to the board, ESD requirements are more relaxed. Failure to do so can result in defects or
decreased reliability.
Note: In a modern SMD manufacturing process, ESD voltages well below 100V are standard. A major
source for ESD is hot-plugging the motor during operation. As the power MOSFETs are discrete
devices, the device in fact is very rugged concerning any ESD event on the motor outputs. All other
connections are typically protected due to external circuitry on the PCB.
