TC4427A (H-bridge), Output current, Long term

Halo said:

Hi,
Can anyone explain how to calculate the output current for long term use on the H-bridge TC4427A?
As you can see the peak current is 1.5A, but the datasheet doesn't mention anything about the long term current. (https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/21423F.pdf)

My supply voltage is 12v and I get approximately 5V on the output (measured on the motor). The motor resistance is about 10 to 20 ohm.

I have done some test with the motor and can see that the Ampere is about 60mA to 100mA (This may be within the limits for this h-bridge, just won’t to proof it theoretically)

So if someone can make an example of the calculation I would be very grateful!

Thanks
