PWM Control Mode (PMODE = Logic High)
When the PMODE pin is logic high on power up, the device latches into PWM mode (
). PWM
mode allows for the H-bridge to enter the Hi-Z state without taking the nSLEEP pin logic low. The truth
table for PWM mode is shown in
. This method is best for bidirectional driving for one motor.
