Pinout
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | VBB | power_in | Power supply input, 5 V to 50 V operating range |
| 2 | SPEED | input | PWM duty cycle analog input, 0 V to VDD; output enabled above 79% VDD, disabled below 20% VDD |
| 3 | TDEAD | input | Dead time setting terminal with external resistor 12 kΩ to 220 kΩ connected to ground |

| 25 | VREG | power_out | Regulated gate drive supply output, 7.0 V to 13.75 V depending on VBB input voltage |
| 26 | CP2 | passive | Charge pump capacitor terminal; connect 0.47 µF ceramic capacitor between CP1 and CP2 |
| 27 | CP1 | passive | Charge pump capacitor terminal; connect 0.47 µF ceramic capacitor between CP1 and CP2 |
| 28 | GND | power_in | Ground connection for logic and power return |
| 29 | EP | passive | Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table). |
