Hey Nimesh,
The 1x PWM mode as the name suggests takes the PWM signals on the INHA pin and the rest of the pins are used as logic pins to determine, the half bridge outputs, direction and brake. Please check out section 8.3.1.1.3 for more info and Table 4,5 on the logic states and their corresponding output to determine how you would like to implement the 1x mode. Figure 18 and 19 are also useful to get an idea on how the connections are made.

Typically the hall signals are connected directly otherwise you will need to have the external microcontroller provide the logic states.

Hi if i am running the motor without hall sensor (i.e sensoreless mode) how does microcontroller sense position of rotor do i have to consider back emf signal as well to run the motor in sensoreless mode
Hey Nimesh,
Yes, Back EMF and Current sensing can be used to implement sensorless commutation.

Hey Nimesh,
If you do not wish to use hall sensors and need to detect motor position then back emf is a way.
Please read pages 9-10 of this app note for more info:

Have you checked out our MCx products: MCT8329 and MCF8315/16 for sensorless? (integrated control solutions)
