Hello to all,
I found this new IC and want to test it for a while, but don't want to fry it before that :D, so just a several questions, where I doubt that I understood the datasheet correctly.
- There will be no uC, so I don't need current sensing, so I should put PIN7 to GND via 1K resistor and PIN9 to VCC via 10K resistor?
- Datasheet says, that input can be controlled by CMOS levels, but did not found clearly written - what is the max voltage for control pin ? Same as whole IC: 41 VDC ?
The IC homepage:

For testing and learning about this nice IC I am planning to use it instead of 40A automotive relay, to control several 12V fans. I understand that its a bit overkill, as the same could be done by appropriate FET, but I want to have some smart features, like protections and limitations (current, temperature, etc.)
Best regards
Dainius
