PBD 3517/1
INH — Inhibit
Purpose of external components
For figures 14 and 15. Note that “Larger than …” is normally the vice versa of “Smaller
than … .”
A HIGH level on the INH input,turns off all
phase outputs to reduce current
consumption.

The internal phase logic generates a
trigger pulse every time the phase
changes state. The pulse triggers its own
monostable which turns on the output
transistors for a precise period of time:

The ØA and ØB outputs are generated
from the phase logic and inform an
external device if the A phase or the B
phase current is internally inhibited.
These outputs are intended to support if it
is legal to correctly go from a half-step
mode to a full-step mode without loosing
positional information.
The PBD 3517/1 can act as a controller
IC for 2 driver ICs, the PBL 3770A. Use
PA1 and PB1 for phase control, and ØA and
ØB for I0 and I1 control of current turn-off.
