Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 I04 input Control input for H-Bridge 4; logic input with a 0 V to 5.5 V recommended control input range, and it must be left OPEN when H-Bridges 3 and 4 are paralleled.
2 OUT1A output H-Bridge 1 output A; continuous phase node voltage is limited to -1 V to VVM + 1 V and output current to 1.5 A.
3 SENSE1 output Sense resistor terminal for H-Bridge 1; the SENSE1 pin voltage must stay within ±500 mV.
4 OUT1B output H-Bridge 1 output B; continuous phase node voltage is limited to -1 V to VVM + 1 V and output current to 1.5 A.
5 VM1 power_in Supply voltage pin with a 4.5 V to 38 V recommended operating range; it should be connected to the VM2 pin close to the device.
6 OUT2B output H-Bridge 2 output B; continuous phase node voltage is limited to -1 V to VVM + 1 V and output current to 1.5 A.
