PRODUCTION DATA
Each high-side driver has an internal diode from ground to the high-side OUTx node for ESD protection. If either of the following occurs, this diode can be subjected to high energy dissipation:
Only a limited amount of energy (<1mJ) can be dissipated by the internal ESD diodes during freewheeling. For inductive loads greater than 100μH, a connection to an external freewheeling diode between PGND and the corresponding output is required
