7.3.2 Control Modes

The devices provides three different control modes to support various commutation and control methods. Table 7-2 shows the various modes of the device.

Table 7-2 PWM Control Modes
MODE Type MODE Pin (DRV8311H-Q1) MODE Bits (DRV8311S-Q1) MODE Bits (DRV8311P-Q1) MODE
Mode 1 Mode pin tied to AGND or
Mode pin to 47 kΩ tied to AGND 		PWM_MODE = 00b or
PWM_MODE = 01b 		NA 6x Mode
Mode 2 Mode pin Hi-Z or
Mode pin tied to AVDD 		PWM_MODE = 10b NA 3x Mode
Mode 3 NA PWM_MODE = 11b PWM_MODE = 11b PWM Generation Mode
Note:

Texas Instruments do not recommend changing the MODE pin or MODE register during power up of the device (i.e. during tWAKE). The MODE setting on DRV8311H-Q1 is latched at power up, so set nSLEEP = 0 before changing the MODE pin configuration on the DRV8311H-Q1. In DRV8311S-Q1, set all INHx and INLx pins to logic low before changing the MODE register.
