CVCO
Motor current sense input which triggers pulse by pulse current limit when
ISENSE exceeds 0.55V
A clock output of 6 pulses per commutation cycle when SPEED FB is greater
than 0.97V otherwise the TACH output is at 5V
Connection node for speed loop compensation components
Connection node for external resistor to set VCO frequency
DC input for setting motor speed
External resistor from this pin to ground controls the IC's PWM timing (frequency)
High-side output driver for motor phase A
High-side output driver for motor phase B
High-side output driver for motor phase C
Power Supply input
Low-side output driver signal for motor phase A
Low-side output driver signal for motor phase B
Low-side output driver signal for motor phase C
Back EMF signal input for motor phase A
Back EMF signal input for motor phase B
Back EMF signal input for motor phase C
Signal and power ground
Connection node for back-EMF sensing compensation components
Connection node for external soft start capacitor which reduces start up current
Connection node for external capacitor to set VCO frequency. Forcing this input
below 1.5V causes the commutation to stop and the motor to coast
