Typical Application

The figures below show the typical application schematic for driving a brushed DC motor or any inductive load in various modes. There are several optional connections shown in these schematics, which are listed as follows:

  • nSLEEP pin
    • SPI (S) variant - This pin can be tied off high in the application if SLEEP function is not needed.
    • SPI (P) variant - N/A
    • HW (H) variant - Pin control is mandatory even if SLEEP function is not needed. The controller needs to issue a reset pulse (typical: 30 μsec bounded between treset max and tsleep min) during wake-up to acknowledge wake-up or power-up.
  • DRVOFF pin
    • Both SPI (P) and SPI (S) variants - This pin can be tied off low in the application if shutoff through pin function is not needed. The equivalent register bit can be used.
  • EN/IN1 pin
    • Both SPI (P) and SPI (S) variants - This pin can be tied off low or left floating if register only control is needed.
  • PH/IN2 pin
    • Both SPI (P) and SPI (S) variants - This pin can be tied off low or left floating if register only control is needed.
  • OUT1 & OUT2 pins
    • Recommend to add PCB footprints for capacitors from OUTx to GND as well as between OUTx close to the load for EMC purposes.
  • IPROPI pin
    • All variants - Monitoring of this output is optional. Also IPROPI pin can be tied low if ITRIP feature & IPROPI function is not needed. Recommend to add a PCB footprint for a small capacitor (10 nF to 100 nF) if needed.
  • nFAULT pin
    • Both SPI (P) and SPI (S) variants - Monitoring of this output is optional. All diagnostic information can be read from the STATUS registers.
  • SPI input pins
    • Both SPI (S) and SPI (P) variants - Inputs (SDI, nSCS, SCLK) are compatible with 3.3 V / 5 V levels.
  • SPI SDO pin
    • SPI (S) variant - SDO tracks the nSLEEP pin voltage.
    • SPI (P) variant - SDO tracks the VDD pin voltage. To interface with a 3.3 V level controller input, a level shifter or a current limiting series resistor is recommended.
  • CONFIG pins
    • HW (H) variant - Resistor is not needed for short to GND and Hi-Z level selections
      • LVL1 and LVL3 for MODE pin
      • LVL1 and LVL6 for SR, ITRIP, DIAG pins
