4.2 PWM Control Mode (MODE = Logic High, DRL, PDSG)
When the MODE pin is logic high on power up, the device latches into PWM mode (
standard control mode for the DRV82xxDRL and DRV82xxPDSG devices. 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 for the DSG variants
is shown in
. This method is best for bidirectional driving for one
motor.
