PACKAGE MOUNTING
Figure 12 provides recommended printed circuit board (PCB)
layouts for the PowerPAD HTSSOP-14 package. The metal
pad of the PowerPAD HTSSOP-14 package is electrically
isolated from other pins and ideally should be connected to
a ground. For reliable operation, the PowerPAD must be
directly soldered to a circuit board, as shown in Figure 13.
Increasing the heat-sink copper area improves heat dissipa-
tion. Figure 14 shows typical junction-to-ambient thermal
resistance as a function of the PCB copper area.

POWER DISSIPATION
The DRV104 power dissipation depends on power supply,
signal, and load conditions. Power dissipation (P_D) is equal to
the product of output current times the voltage across the
conducting DMOS transistor times the duty cycle. Using the
lowest possible duty cycle necessary to assure the required
hold force can minimize power dissipation in both the load and
in the DRV104. At 1A, the output DMOS transistor on-resis-
tance is 0.45Ω, increasing to 0.65Ω at current limit.
