NOTICE
Supply Voltage Buffering / Add External Power Supply Capacitors
A sufficiently buffered power supply or an external electrolyte capacitor
connected between V+ and GND is recommended for stable operation.
It is recommended to connect an electrolytic capacitor of significant size to the
power supply lines next to the TMCM-1076.
Rule of thumb for size of electrolytic capacitor:
C
= 1000

The TMCM-1076 comes with approximately 40
µ
F of onboard ceramic ca-
pacitors.
NOTICE
There is no reverse polarity protection on the supply input!
The module will short any reversed supply voltage and board electronics will get
damaged.
NOTICE
Power Up Sequence
The TMCM-1076 must be powered up with disabled driver stage only. Depending
on your configuration the EN input should be logically OFF. For example, if COMM
input is connected to 3.3V to 6V, the EN input must be 0V. If common ground or
0V level is connected to COMM input, the EN input must have high level.
