PH/EN Control Mode (PMODE = Logic Low)
When the PMODE pin is logic low on power up, the device latches into PH/EN mode (
). PH/EN
mode allows for the H-bridge to be controlled with a speed and direction type of interface. The truth table
for PH/EN mode is shown in
. This method is best for bidirectional driving for one motor.
