DRV8835: Function of MODE pin

Part Number: DRV8835


Hi,

My customer is using DRV8835.
He has below question.
Could you please answer below?

Q1: Can we change the interface mode from IN/IN to PH/EN during operating motor?
      When does logic level of MODE pin detect by DRV8835?  At release UVLO or sleep mode? or anytime?

Q2: Which mode(IN/IN or PH/EN) does DRV8835 detect at supply middle range voltage(0.3xVcc< middle viltage <0.5xVcc) to MODE pin by external circuit?


Best regards,
Shimizu

  • Hi Shimizu-san,

    We will investigate and reply soon.
  • Hi Shimizu-san,

    The change to the MODE input is detected immediately. Because of that, it is recommended to either disable the outputs or set the outputs to active low prior to changing MODE.

    Q2: Which mode(IN/IN or PH/EN) does DRV8835 detect at supply middle range voltage(0.3xVcc< middle viltage <0.5xVcc) to MODE pin by external circuit?

    It is unknown. The transition point will vary from device to device.
