Datasheet

power. Use 6.5V-45VDC to power the motor and the chip. This isn't the same as the logic level of the chip, which is up
to 5.5 VDC. You do not have to provide a logic level power supply to the chip, how nice is that?
Motor Input Pins
These are the inputs to the motor control. IN2 goes to OUT2, IN1 goes to IN1. Use up to 5.5V DC logic on these pins.
You can PWM the inputs up to 200KHz, but lower frequencies will be more efficient.
