4.1 PH/EN Control Mode (MODE=Logic High)
When the MODE /nSLEEP pin is logic high on power up, the device latches into PH/EN mode (
PH/EN control mode is only supported by the DRV821xDSG devices. 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.
