Description

WARNING, POWER TERMINALS!

1

GND

Power


Power supply negative (Power Ground). Internally connected to GND_D.

 

Power pins can have high voltages > 50 V, always respect clearance and creepage requirements (Typ > 0.25 mm)! Dimension PCB traces and connectors according to the current of the application!


2

+VBUS

Power supply positive (DC bus).

3

PHASE_A

Motor phase A for 3-phase motors, positive for DC / Voice coil motors.

4

PHASE_B

Motor phase B for 3-phase motors, negative for DC / Voice coil  motors.

5

PHASE_C

Motor phase C for 3-phase motors (do not connect for DC motors).

It is recommended to solder the power pins to reduce power losses. It also improves thermal performance by providing a preferential path for heat dissipation from the power stage to the environment.

However, plugging and unplugging can be achieved by using a mating connector: MillMax 3305-0-15-15-47-27-10-0 socket.

Notes and naming conventions:

  • All pins are tolerant to 3.3 V unless otherwise noted.

  • Unused digital outputs should be left unconnected.

  • Unused digital inputs should be connected to GND_D.

  • Unused analog inputs should be connected to 1.65V ± 3% by means of a voltage divider from 3.3V_REF. Minimum resistors should be ≥470 Ω (≥4.7 kΩ recommended). 

  • "_P" and "_N" indicate positive and negative terminals of differential signals

  • "\" Indicates inverted (active low) signal

  • "NC" means Not Connected. Pins marked with NC can be tied to GND or 3.3 V, but the best practice is to leave them unconnected.

  • "DNC" means Do Not Connect. Pins marked with DNC must not be tied to any driving voltage, including GND or 3.3 V.
