Circuit Operation
Speed Sensor Input
SENSOR is a PNP comparator input which accepts either a sine
wave or a square wave input. This input is protected from excur-
sions above V
CC
as well as any below ground as long as the cur-
rent is limited to 1.5mA. It has an active clamp set to zero volts to
prevent negative input voltages from disrupting normal opera-
tion. The sensor input can withstand 150V
DC
as long as the input
current is limited to 1.5mA max. using a series resistor of 100k�½.

Coil Driver Outputs
Simultaneously energizing the source and sink on either leg is
not permitted, i.e. Q1 & Q2 or Q3 & Q4 cannot be energized
simultaneously.
Circuit function is not affected by inductive transients due to coil
loads as specified in the Transition States section.
The transition states occur as indicated in Table 1 without any
intermediate states permitted.

Divider Select Input
The speed sensor input frequency is either divided by one or divid-
ed by two depending on the state of the SELECT input as follows:
Logic 0 = divide by 2
Logic 1 = divide by 1
