Name 
Description 
1 
11 
DIR 
Direction input. DIR has an internal pull-down resistor. 
2 
12 
nFAULT 
Fault indication. nFAULT is an open-drain output. Drive nFAULT to logic low 
when in a fault condition (OCP, OTP, OVP). 
3 
13 
ISET 
Current  set  programming.  A  resistor  from  ISET  to  ground  sets  the  current 
through the motor. 
4 
14 
AGND 
Analog ground. 
5 
15 
ROSC 
Constant  off-time  programming.  A  resistor  from  ROSC  to  ground  sets  the 
PWM off time. 
6 
16 
MS2 
Mode selection. MS1 and MS2 set the step mode (full, 1/2, 1/4, or 1/8 step). 
MS1 and MS2 have an internal pull-down resistor.

EP 
6, 10, 
19, 23, 
EP 
GND 
Power ground. 
9 
20 
BOUT1 
Bridge B output terminal 1. 
10, 22 
8, 21 
VIN 
Input supply voltage. Both VIN pins must be connected to the same supply. 
Decouple VIN to ground with a minimum 100nF ceramic capacitor. 
11 
22 
BOUT2 
Bridge B output terminal 2. 
13 
24 
STEP 
Step input. The rising edge sequences the translator and advances the motor 
by one increment. STEP has an internal pull-down resistor. 
14 
25 
VCP 
Charge pump output. VCP requires a 1µF, 16V, ceramic capacitor to VIN. 
15 
28 
CP2 
Charge pump capacitor. Connect a 100nF ceramic capacitor rated for the VIN 
voltage between these terminals. 
16 
1 
CP1 
17 
2 
VG 
Low-side MOSFETs gate drive voltage. VG requires a 220nF, 16V, ceramic 
capacitor to ground. 
- 
3, 17, 
26, 27 
NC 
No connection. 
18 
4 
nENBL 
Enable  input.  Drive  nENBL  to  logic  high  to  disable  the  bridge  outputs  and 
translator operation. Drive nENBL to logic low to enable the bridge outputs and 
translator operation. nENBL has an internal pull-down resistor. 
19 
5 
nSLEEP 
Sleep  mode  input.  Drive  nSLEEP  to  logic  high  to  enable  normal  operation. 
nSLEEP has an internal pull-down resistor . 
21 
7 
AOUT2 
Bridge A output terminal 2. 
23 
9 
AOUT1 
Bridge A output terminal 1.
