Hi,
I have connected DRV8313 exactly as in the data sheet 8.2.1 figure 13.
as soon as turning power supply the current limiter of the power supply turns on (limited to 2A)
then the chip seems to be damaged. Some pins that were not shorted to each other are now shorted to each other
1) prototyping with SSOP28 to DIP expansion board then onto breadboard. The soldering should be fine i went through numerous boards and each time i more than triple check every solder connection using multimeter
2) using 5V arduino as microprocessor but the datasheet section 6.3 says the Vin can be max 5.5V
3) using leds with 220R's as load
Please help!! have already spent many days, tried different schematics and went through many, many chips :(
