11.3 Thermal Characteristics
The following table shall give an idea on the thermal resistance of the package. The thermal
resistance for a four-layer board will provide a good idea on a typical application. Actual thermal
characteristics will depend on the PCB layout, PCB type and PCB size. The thermal resistance will
benefit from thicker CU (inner) layers for spreading heat horizontally within the PCB. Also, air flow will
reduce thermal resistance.

The thermal resistance in an actual layout can be tested by checking for the heat up caused by the
standby power consumption of the chip. When no motor is attached, all power seen on the power
supply is dissipated within the chip.
