NAME

DESCRIPTION

Battery connection.

Power grounds, must always be externally connected together.

Power connections to the motor.

Voltage controlled input pins with hysteresis, CMOS compatible. These two pins control the state of

counterclockwise).

PWM

Voltage controlled input pin with hysteresis, CMOS compatible. Gates of Low-Side FETS get

modulated by the PWM signal during their ON phase allowing speed control of the motor

Open drain bidirectional logic pins. These pins must be connected to an external pull up resistor.When

externally pulled low, they disable half-bridge A or B. In case of fault detection (thermal shutdown of a

High-Side FET or excessive ON state voltage drop across a Low-Side FET), these pins are pulled low

by the device (see truth table in fault condition).

NAME

DESCRIPTION

LOGIC CONTROL

Allows the turn-on and the turn-off of the High Side and the Low Side

switches according to the truth table.

OVERVOLTAGE + UNDERVOLTAGE

Shut-down the device outside the range [5.5V..36V] for the battery

voltage.

HIGH SIDE CLAMP VOLTAGE

Protect the High-Side switches from the high voltage on the battery

line in all configuration for the motor.

HIGH SIDE AND LOW SIDE DRIVER

leg of the bridge.

LINEAR CURRENT LIMITER

In case of short circuit for the High-Side switch, limits the motor current

by reducing its electrical characteristics.

OVERTEMPERATURE PROTECTION

In case of short-circuit with the increase of the junction’s temperature,

shuts-down the concerned High-Side to prevent its degradation and to

protect the die.

FAULT DETECTION

Signalize an abnormal behavior of the switches in the half-bridge A or

B by pulling low the concerned ENx/DIAGx pin.
