20 ESD Sensitive Device
The TMC260 and the 261 are ESD-sensitive CMOS devices and sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Take
special care to use adequate grounding of personnel and machines in manual handling. After
soldering the devices to the board, ESD requirements are more relaxed. Failure to do so can result in
defects or decreased reliability.
Note: In a modern SMD manufacturing process, ESD voltages well below 100V are standard. A major
source for ESD is hot-plugging the motor during operation. As the power MOSFETs are discrete
devices, the device in fact is very rugged concerning any ESD event on the motor outputs. All other
connections are typically protected due to external circuitry on the PCB.
