Table 4-1 Pin Functions
PIN TYPE(1) DESCRIPTION EXTERNAL COMPONENTS OR CONNECTIONS
NAME NO.
POWER AND GROUND
CP1 1 P Charge pump flying capacitor Connect a 0.01μF 100V capacitor between CP1 and CP2.
CP2 2 P Charge pump flying capacitor
LGND 19 P Logic input reference ground Connect to logic ground. This is any voltage between VNEG and VM – 8V.
V3P3OUT 15 P 3.3V regulator output Bypass to VNEG with a 0.47μF 6.3V ceramic capacitor. Can be used to supply VREF.
VCP 3 P High-side gate drive voltage Connect a 0.1μF 16V ceramic capacitor to VM.
VM 4, 11 P Main power supply Connect to motor supply (8V to 60V). Both pins must be connected to same supply. Bypass to VNEG with a 10µF (minimum) capacitor.
SRC12 6 P Low-side FET source for OUT1 and OUT2 Connect to VNEG directly or through optional current-sense resistor
SRC34 9 P Low-side FET source for OUT3 and OUT4
VNEG 14, 28, PPAD P Negative power supply (dual supplies) or ground (single supply)

IN4 21 I Channel 4 input Logic input controls state of OUT4. Internal pulldown.
nRESET 16 I Reset input Active-low reset input initializes internal logic and disables the H-bridge outputs. Internal pulldown.
nSLEEP 17 I Sleep mode input Logic high to enable device, logic low to enter low-power sleep mode. Internal pulldown.
STATUS
nFAULT 18 OD Fault Logic low when in fault condition (overtemperature, overcurrent, UVLO). Open-drain output.
OUTPUT
OUT1 5 O Output 1 Connect to loads
OUT2 7 O Output 2
OUT3 8 O Output 3
OUT4 10 O Output 4
NO CONNECT
NC 12, 13 — No connect No connection to these pins
