## Pinout

| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | AISEN | passive | Bridge A sense pin; a sense resistor to GND sets the PWM current regulation level (VTRIP 200 mV nominal), or connect directly to ground to disable current control. |
| 2 | AOUT2 | output | Bridge A output 2; positive current is AOUT1 to AOUT2. |
| 3 | BOUT2 | output | Bridge B output 2; positive current is BOUT1 to BOUT2. |
| 4 | BISEN | passive | Bridge B sense pin; a sense resistor to GND sets the PWM current regulation level (VTRIP 200 mV nominal), or connect directly to ground to disable current control. |
| 5 | BOUT1 | output | Bridge B output 1; positive current is BOUT1 to BOUT2. |
| 6 | nFAULT | output | Open-drain fault indication pulled logic low on a fault condition; requires an external pullup (>1 kΩ, to a supply rated <5.5 V). |
| 7 | BIN1 | input | H-bridge B PWM input controlling the state of BOUT1 and BOUT2; internal pulldown (150 kΩ typ). |
| 8 | BIN2 | input | H-bridge B PWM input controlling the state of BOUT1 and BOUT2; internal pulldown (150 kΩ typ). |
| 9 | NC | unconnected | No connect pin. |
| 10 | VM | power_in | Motor power supply, 2.7 to 10.8 V; bypass to GND with a 10-µF ceramic capacitor rated for VM. |
| 11 | GND | power_in | Device ground; both the GND pin and the PowerPAD must be connected to ground. |
| 12 | VINT | power_out | Internal 3.3 V regulator output; bypass to GND with a 2.2-µF, 6.3-V ceramic capacitor. |
| 13 | AIN2 | input | H-bridge A PWM input controlling the state of AOUT1 and AOUT2; internal pulldown (150 kΩ typ). |
| 14 | AIN1 | input | H-bridge A PWM input controlling the state of AOUT1 and AOUT2; internal pulldown (150 kΩ typ). |
| 15 | nSLEEP | input | Sleep mode input: logic high enables the device, logic low enters low-power sleep mode; internal 500-kΩ pulldown, clamped at 6.5 V. |
| 16 | AOUT1 | output | Bridge A output 1; positive current is AOUT1 to AOUT2. |
| 17 | GND | power_in | Exposed thermal pad (PowerPAD); must be connected to ground and soldered to the board for thermal performance. |
