Logic inputs

Pins IN1A, IN2A, IN1B, IN2B, ENA and ENB are TTL/CMOS and microcontroller compatible

logic inputs. The internal structure is shown in Figure 4. Typical value for turn-on and turn-off

thresholds are respectively Vthon = 1.8 V and Vthoff = 1.3 V.

Pins ENA and ENB are commonly used to implement overcurrent and thermal protection by

connecting them respectively to the outputs OCDA and OCDB, which are open-drain

outputs. If that type of connection is chosen, some care needs to be taken in driving these

pins. Two configurations are shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6. If driven by an open drain

(collector) structure, a pull-up resistor REN and a capacitor CEN are connected as shown in

Figure 5. If the driver is a standard push-pull structure the resistor REN and the capacitor

CEN are connected as shown in Figure 6. The resistor REN should be chosen in the range

from 2.2 k

Ω to 180 kΩ. Recommended values for R

EN and CEN are respectively 100 kΩ and

5.6 nF. More information on selecting the values is found in the overcurrent protection

section.
