17  Absolute Maximum Ratings 
The maximum ratings may not be exceeded under any circumstances. Operating the circuit at or near 
more  than  one  maximum  rating  at  a  time  for  extended  periods  shall  be  avoided  by  application 
design.

*) Stray inductivity of GND and VS connections will lead to ringing of the supply voltage when driving 
an  inductive  load.  This  ringing  results  from  the  fast  switching  slopes  of  the  driver  outputs  in 
combination with reverse recovery of the body diodes of the output driver MOSFETs. Even small trace 
inductivities as well as stray inductivity of sense resistors can easily generate a few volts of ringing 
leading to temporary voltage overshoot. This should be considered when working near the maximum 
voltage.
