1.  Power-on Sequence with Control Input Signals 
Turn on V
DD
. Then, when the V
DD
 voltage has stabilized, turn on VM
A/B
. 
Hold the control input pins Low while turning on V
DD
 and VM
A/B
. 
(All the control input pins are internally pulled down.) 
After V
DD
 and VM
A/B
 completely stabilizes at the rated voltages, the 
RESET
  and ENABLE pins can be 
set High. If this sequence is not properly followed, the IC may not operate correctly, or the IC and the 
peripheral parts may be damaged. 
When 
RESET
  is released High, the CLK signal is applied and excitation is started. Only after ENABLE 
is also set High, outputs are enabled. When only 
RESET
  is set High, outputs are disabled and only the 
internal counter advances. Likewise, when only ENABLE is set High, the excitation will not be performed 
even if the CLK signal is applied and the outputs will remain in the initial state. 
An example of a control input sequence is shown below. 
A power-off sequence should be the reverse of this sequence.

2.  Power Dissipation 
The power dissipation of the IC can be calculated by the following equation: 
P = V
DD
 × I
DD
 + I
OUT
 × I
OUT
 × Ron × 2 phases 
The higher the ambient temperature, the smaller the power dissipation. 
Examine the PD-T
a
 characteristic curve to determine if there is a sufficient margin in the thermal design. 
3.  Treatment of Heat-Radiating Fin 
The heat-radiating fin pins of the TB6560AHQ/AFG (backside) are electrically connected to the backside of 
the die. Thus, if a current flows to the fin, the IC may malfunction. If there is any possibility of a voltage 
being generated between grounds and the fin, the fin pins should either be connected to ground or 
insulated. 
4.  Thermal Shutdown (TSD) 
When the die temperature reaches 170°C (typ.), the thermal shutdown circuit is tripped, switching the 
outputs to off. There is a variation of about ±20°C in the temperature at which the thermal shutdown 
circuit is tripped.
