DRV8256PEVM: Controlling the DRV8256EPWPR

Part Number: DRV8256PEVM

Hi, I’ve been using the DRV8256PPWPR motor driver with your help last year, and it’s working great. However, it requires 2 PWM pins from my mcu, and in a new design, I will have 2 motors, instead of 1 motor. So to use 2 DRV8256PPWPR I would need 4 PWM pins which I’m not sure I can spare.

But the DRV8256EPWPR is almost identical, and I think it will work for me. Instead of IN1/IN2, it has EN and PH. Am I correct that I would just need a digital pin to set PH high or low to determine the direction, and then just 1 PWM pin connected to EN to control the speed? If so, I’d only need 1 PWM pin per motor driver instead of 2.

thanks
