Note 1: Negative voltage will cause a large surge current. Protection fuse needed if battery polarity inver-
sion is possible
Note 2: Maximum regeneration voltage in normal operation. Never inject a DC voltage from a battery or
other fixed source
Note 3: Minimum voltage must be present on VBat or Power Control wire
Note 4: Factory default value. Adjustable in 0.1V increments
Note 5: Current consumption is lower when higher voltage is applied to the controller’s VBat or PwrCtrl
wires
Note 6: Estimate. Limited by case temperature. Current may be higher with better cooling
Note 7: Factory default value. Adjustable in 0.1A increments
Note 8: Factory default value. Time in ms that Stall current must be exceeded for detection
Note 9: Controller will stop until restarted in case of short circuit detection
Note 10: Approximate value
Note 11: Factory default value. Time in ms for power to go from 0 to 100%
