7.3.2 Control Modes

The DRV887x family of devices provides three modes to support different control schemes with the EN/IN1 and

PH/IN2 pins. The control mode is selected through the PMODE pin with either logic low, logic high, or setting the

pin Hi-Z as shown in Table 2. The PMODE pin state is latched when the device is enabled through the nSLEEP

pin. The PMODE state can be changed by taking the nSLEEP pin logic low, waiting the tSLEEP time, changing the

PMODE pin input, and then enabling the device by taking the nSLEEP pin back logic high.
