The recommended operating voltage range for the 2STA1695 is 4.5V to 5.5V.
To ensure proper power-on and power-off, it's recommended to follow the power-up and power-down sequencing guidelines outlined in the datasheet, and to use an external power-on reset circuit to ensure a clean power-on reset.
The maximum current rating for the 2STA1695's output stages is 1.5A per channel, with a total current limit of 3A for both channels combined.
To protect the 2STA1695 from overcurrent and overheating, it's recommended to implement overcurrent protection circuits, thermal monitoring, and thermal shutdown mechanisms, as outlined in the datasheet and application notes.
For optimal thermal performance, it's recommended to follow the PCB layout guidelines outlined in the datasheet, including using a thermal pad, thermal vias, and a heat sink, as well as ensuring good airflow around the device.
