Connecting it differently from what the datasheet says is not going to work
What exactly am I connecting wrong? The datasheet says VBOOT is an "overvoltage input to drive the upper DMOS" - should this not go to VS?
I'm hooking this up to one of those hobby aircraft motors (a fairly small one) that isn't going to draw nearly the 5 amps the thing is supposed to give, especially since it's not under any load.
I did common the grounds and have a 470uF cap between the supply and ground, and I will use 4.7k resistors - I think this caused the overvoltage.
