Preliminary 
8.5. MO (Monitor Output: electrical angle output) function 
MO pin outputs an internal initial electrical angle as a signal. Since MO pin is an open drain type 
pin, please pull up this pin to the power supply such as VCC to enable this function. (The pull-up 
resistor value should be set between 10 kΩ and 100 kΩ.)   
MO pin outputs high level with the pulled-up state because it is in high impedance (Hi-Z) state 
during the normal operation. When the internal electrical angle corresponds to the initial angle, 
the pin level becomes low (internal open-drain MOSFET turns on) as shown below. 
In case MO pin is not used, leave the pin open state or connect it to GND.

Note: After the standby mode is released, do not input a motor driving signal until the 
internal circuit becomes stable. (Indication time is 1 ms after the release of the 
standby mode.) 
It is recommended to switch the DMODE0, DMODE 1, and DMODE 2 after the 
RESET signal is set to low level in the initial state (MO = Low).

If the electrical angle corresponds to the initial 
angle, the internal MOSFET turns on and the 
pin voltage level is low. 
If the electrical angle is not equal to the initial 
angle, the internal MOSFET turns off and the 
pin voltage level is high (VCC).
