DESCRIPTION
(PWP) (RGE) OR CONNECTIONS
POWER AND GROUND
21, 18, Both the GND pin and device PowerPAD
GND - Device ground
PPAD PPAD must be connected to ground
Connect to motor supply. A 10-µF (minimum)
VM 18, 19 15, 16 - Bridge A power supply
capacitor to GND is recommended.
Bypass to GND with 2.2-μF (minimum), 6.3-V
capacitor. Can be used to provide logic high
VINT 20 17 - Internal supply
voltage for configuration pins (except
nSLEEP).
May be connected to AVREF/BVREF inputs.
VREFO 24 21 O Reference voltage output
Do not place a bypass capacitor on this pin.
Connect a 0.01-μF, 16-V (minimum) X7R
VCP 17 14 O High-side gate drive voltage
ceramic capacitor to VM.
CONTROL (Indexer Mode or Phase/Enable Mode)
Indexer mode: Logic low enables all outputs.
Phase/enable mode: Logic high enables the
nENBL/AENBL 10 7 I Step motor enable/Bridge A enable
AOUTx outputs.
Internal pulldown.
Indexer mode: Rising edge moves indexer to
next step.
STEP/BENBL 11 8 I Step input/Bridge B enable Phase/enable mode: Logic high enables the
BOUTx outputs.
Internal pulldown.
Indexer mode: Level sets direction of step.
Phase/enable mode: Logic high sets BOUT1
DIR/BPHASE 12 9 I Direction input/Bridge B Phase
high, BOUT2 low.
Internal pulldown.
Indexer mode: Controls microstep mode (full,
half, up to 1/32-step) along with M1.
M0/APHASE 13 10 I Microstep mode/Bridge A phase Phase/enable mode: Logic high sets AOUT1
high, AOUT2 low.
Internal pulldown.
Indexer mode: Controls microstep mode (full,
half, up to 1/32-step) along with M0.
M1 14 11 I Microstep mode/Disable state Phase/enable mode: Determines the state of
the outputs when xENBL = 0.
Internal pulldown.
Logic high to put the device in indexer mode.
Logic low to put the device into phase/enable
CONFIG 15 12 I Device configuration
mode. State is latched at power-up and sleep
exit. Internal pulldown.
Logic high to enable device, logic low to
nSLEEP 1 22 I Sleep mode input enter low-power sleep mode and reset all
internal logic.
Reference voltage for AOUT winding current.
In Indexer Mode, it should be tied to a
AVREF 22 19 I Bridge A current set reference input reference voltage for the internal DAC (e.g.
VREFO). In Phase/Enable Mode, an external
DAC can drive it for microstepping.
Reference voltage for BOUT winding current.
In Indexer Mode, it should be tied to a
BVREF 23 20 I Bridge B current set reference input reference voltage for the internal DAC (e.g.
VREFO). In Phase/Enable Mode, an external
DAC can drive it for microstepping.
Determines decay mode for H-Bridge A (or A
ADECAY 3 24 I Decay mode for bridge A and B in indexer mode) – slow, fast or mixed
decay
Determines decay mode for H-Bridge B –
BDECAY 2 23 I Decay mode for bridge B
slow, fast or mixed decay
(1) Directions: I = input, O = output, OZ = tri-state output, OD = open-drain output, IO = input/output
