4.2 Motor selection
Some stepper motor have such high core losses that they are not suitable for switch mode
current regulation. Furthermore, some stepper motors are not designed for continuous
operating at maximum current. Since the circuit can drive a constant current through the
motor, its temperature might exceed, both at low and high speed operation.
4.3 Unused inputs
Unused inputs should be connected to the proper voltage levels in order to get the highest
noise immunity.

4.4 Notes on PCB design
We recommend to observe the following layout rules to avoid application problems with
ground and anomalous recirculation current.
The by-pass capacitors for the power and logic supply must be kept as near as possible to
the IC.
It's important to separate on the PCB board the logic and power grounds and the internal
charge pump circuit ground avoiding that ground traces of the logic signals cross the ground
traces of the power signals.
Because the IC uses the board as a heat sink, the dissipating copper area must be sized in
accordance with the required value of R
