Hello Rick,
Thank you for your answer.
The overshoot/undershoot test result in table is measured with Vcc=Vm=6V.
If overshoot should be less than Vcc+0.7V and undershoot should be higher than -0.7V, the data show already DRV8838 works in danger(8.76V and -0.92V).
Did you mean the Vcc is in absolute maximum value in the datasheet? 12V in Vm? or 7V in Vcc?
Please advise. Thank you.
