3.4 Control inputs (EN, DIR, PWM)
The cmos level inputs drive the device as shown in fig.7 and described in the truth table.
The device is activated with enable input HIGH signal. For enable input floating (not connected) or VEN=0V the
device is in standby mode. When activating the device a wake-up time of 50µs is recommended to stabilize the
internal supplies.
The DIR and PWM inputs control the driver of the external H-Bridge transistors. The motor direction can be
choosen with the DIR input, the duty cycle and frequency with the PWM input. Unconnected inputs are defined
by internal pull up resistors. During wake-up and braking and before disactivating the IC via enable both inputs
should be driven HIGH.

Truth table:
Symbols: x Don't care R:Resistive output TS:Thermal shutdown
0: Logic LOW or not active L: Output in sink condition OV:Overvoltage
1: Logic HIGH or active H: Output in source condition UV:Undervoltage
T: Tristate SC:Short Circuit
6. Only those external MOS transistors of the H-Bridge which are in short circuit condition are switched off. All others remain driven
by DIR and PWM.
7. See Application Note AN2229
3.5 Thermal shutdown
When the junction temperature exceeds T
JSD
all driver are switched in sink condition (L), the K- output is off and
the diagnostic DG is LOW until the junction temperature drops below T

.
3.6 Overvoltage Shutdown
When the supply voltage V
VS
exceeds the overvoltage threshold V
VSOVH
all driver are switched in sink condition
(L), the K- output is off and the diagnostic DG is LOW.
3.7 Undervoltage Shutdown
For supply voltages below the undervoltage disable threshold the gate driver remains in sink condition (L) and
the diagnostic DG is low.
