2.3.3 Direction and PWM
The power stages are controlled by the direct inputs DIR and PWM as given in Table 6
and further illustrated in Figure 2. The DIR input gives the direction of output current,
while the PWM input controls whether the current is increased or reduced. The SPI
control bit 2 sets the decay mode, i.e. determines what happens if PWM = L. In pulse-
width modulated applications, this control scheme allows to supply the PWM-signal
always through the same port, using less controller resources.
