Functional descriptions

1) Operation modes

a) Stand-by mode

Stand-by operates independently of the VREF pin voltage. In stand-by mode, all internal circuits are turned off,

including the output power transistors. Motor output goes to high impedance. If the motor is running at the switch to

stand-by mode, the system enters an idling state because of the body diodes. However, when the system switches

to stand-by from any other mode (except the brake mode), the control logic remains in the high state for at least

50µs before shutting down all circuits.

b) Forward mode

This operating mode is defined as the forward rotation of the motor when the OUT1 pin is high and OUT2 pin is low.

When the motor is connected between the OUT1 and OUT2 pins, the current flows from OUT1 to OUT2. For

operation in this mode, connect the VREF pin with VCC pin.

c) Reverse mode

This operating mode is defined as the reverse rotation of the motor when the OUT1 pin is low and OUT2 pin is high.

When the motor is connected between the OUT1 and OUT2 pins, the current flows from OUT2 to OUT1. For

operation in this mode, connect the VREF pin with VCC pin.

d) Brake mode

This operating mode is used to quickly stop the motor (short circuit brake). It differs from the stand-by mode

because the internal control circuit is operating in the brake mode. Please switch to the stand-by mode (rather than

the brake mode) to save power and reduce consumption.

* Hi-Z is the off state of all output transistors. Please note that this is the state of the connected diodes, which differs from that of the mechanical relay.
