Dual H-bridge motor driver with integrated N-channel MOSFETs, in an HTSSOP-16 PowerPAD package. It drives two DC brush motors, one bipolar stepper, or solenoids, at up to 1.5 A RMS (2 A peak) per bridge from a 2.7-10.8 V supply. Simple IN/IN PWM control, a low-power sleep pin, and built-in overcurrent, thermal, and undervoltage protection. The default small-motor driver for robots and actuators; solder the thermal pad to a copper pour.

Pinout

Pin	Name	Type	Function
1	nSLEEP	input	Sleep mode input. Logic high enables the device; logic low enters low-power sleep mode and resets all internal logic. Has an internal 500 kΩ pulldown. VIH ≥ 2.5 V, VIL ≤ 0.5 V.
2	AOUT1	output	Bridge A output 1. Connects to one terminal of motor winding A. Driven by the internal N-channel H-bridge FETs (HS+LS RDS(on) ≈ 360 mΩ). Rated up to 1.5-A RMS / 2-A peak per bridge.
3	AISEN	bidirectional	Bridge A ground / current-sense return. Connect to a current-sense resistor to GND for PWM current chopping (VTRIP = 200 mV typ.), or tie directly to GND if current control is not needed.
4	AOUT2	output	Bridge A output 2. Connects to the second terminal of motor winding A. Complementary half of bridge A, driven by internal N-channel H-bridge FETs.
5	BOUT2	output	Bridge B output 2. Connects to the second terminal of motor winding B. Driven by internal N-channel H-bridge FETs.
6	BISEN	bidirectional	Bridge B ground / current-sense return. Connect to a current-sense resistor to GND for PWM current chopping, or tie directly to GND if current control is not needed.
7	BOUT1	output	Bridge B output 1. Connects to one terminal of motor winding B. Driven by internal N-channel H-bridge FETs.
8	nFAULT	output	Open-drain fault output. Pulled low when a fault condition (overtemperature, overcurrent) is detected. Requires an external pullup to logic-supply rail. VOL ≤ 0.5 V at IO = 5 mA.
9	BIN1	input	Bridge B input 1. Logic input controls the state of BOUT1 (see H-bridge truth table). Has an internal 150 kΩ pulldown. VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.7 V.
10	BIN2	input	Bridge B input 2. Logic input controls the state of BOUT2 (see H-bridge truth table). Has an internal 150 kΩ pulldown. VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.7 V.
11	VCP	power_out	High-side gate drive voltage from the internal charge pump. Connect a 0.01-µF, 16-V (minimum) X7R ceramic capacitor to VM.
12	VM	power_in	Device motor power supply (2.7 V to 10.8 V operating; 11.8 V abs max). Connect a 10-µF (minimum) ceramic bypass capacitor to GND.
13	GND	power_in	Device ground. The HTSSOP package has a PowerPAD that must also be tied to this GND for both grounding and thermal dissipation.
14	VINT	power_out	Internal regulator supply bypass. Bypass to GND with a 2.2-µF, 6.3-V (minimum) ceramic capacitor. Do not load externally.
15	AIN2	input	Bridge A input 2. Logic input controls the state of AOUT2 (see H-bridge truth table). Has an internal 150 kΩ pulldown. VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.7 V.
16	AIN1	input	Bridge A input 1. Logic input controls the state of AOUT1 (see H-bridge truth table). Has an internal 150 kΩ pulldown. VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.7 V.
