6 Functional description
6.1 Device power-up
At power-up end, the device state is the following:
● Registers are set to default,
● Internal logic is driven by internal oscillator and a 2MHz clock is provided by OSCOUT
pin,
● Bridges are disabled (High Z),
● UVLO bit in STATUS register is forced low (fail condition),
● FLAG output is forced low
During power-up the device is under reset (all logic IO disabled and power bridges in high
impedance state) until the following conditions are satisfied:
● V
S
is greater than V
SthOn
,
● V
REG
is greater than V
REGth
,
● Internal oscillator is operative.
Any motion command makes the device exiting from High Z state (HardStop and SoftStop
included).
6.2 Logic I/O
Pins CS, CK, SDI, STCK, SW and STBY\RST are TTL/CMOS 3.3V-5V compatible logic
inputs.
Pin SDO is a TTL/CMOS compatible logic output. VDD pin voltage sets the logic output pin
voltage range; when it is connected to VREG or 3.3V external supply voltage, the output is
3.3V compatible. When VDD is connected to a 5V supply voltage, SDO is 5V compatible.
VDD is not internally connected to V
REG
, an external connection is always needed.
A 10 µF capacitor should be connected to V
DD
pin in order to obtain a proper operation.
Pins FLAG
and BUSY\SYNC are open drain outputs.
6.3 Charge pump
To ensure the correct driving of the high side integrated mosfets a voltage higher than the
motor power supply voltage needs to be applied to the VBOOT pin. The high side gate
driver supply voltage V
boot
is obtained through an oscillator and a few external components
realizing a charge pump (see Figure 4).
