⚠️ Precautions

Use bootstrap capacitors with appropriate values for high-side switching.
Ensure Vcc and Vs have proper bypass capacitors (typically 0.1µF ceramic + 10µF electrolytic).
Avoid floating logic inputs—tie them high or low via pull-up/down resistors.
Ensure dead-time control to prevent shoot-through damage.
