DESCRIPTION
The IC enables a µC to track the position of a DC-motor by counting its current ripples. The ripple signal is available on an output pin to connect controllers or dedicated logic. With the bidirectional interface the actual position can be read out and IC parameters can be changed. Main parameters are motor direction and PWM to control high side drivers. The IC can be adapted to different motor characteristics by changing the RC-filter on ODIF, IDIF, OLP and the voltage divider on BRTH.
