The maximum current rating of the internal FETs is 2.5A per channel, but it's recommended to limit the current to 2A per channel for reliable operation.
To configure the device for low-power mode, set the EN pin low and the STBY pin high. This will reduce the quiescent current to around 10uA.
The VREG pin is an internal voltage regulator output that can be used to power external circuitry. It's a 5V output with a maximum current rating of 10mA.
The MC33816AE has built-in overcurrent protection. To implement it, connect a sense resistor in series with the motor windings and connect the sense resistor to the ISP pin. The device will detect overcurrent conditions and shut down the FETs if the current exceeds the threshold set by the sense resistor.
The minimum input voltage required for the device to operate is 4.5V, but it's recommended to use a minimum input voltage of 5V for reliable operation.
