H-bridge ic safety question
If I drive both inputs high (e.g. in1 and in2) on an L298 will it release magic smoke (short Vs to GND), or does the chip have some built-in protection against this?
Skimmed the datasheet and didn't see any mention of having protection against this, but I don't really want to risk frying a motor breakout board just to test it.

Side thought, if it doesn't have any protections against driving both inputs high, could I slap a jelly bean XOR (7485?) before the inputs and make it reasonably safe?
