Can i make the stepper works by only applying PWM on STEP pin ,and applying Vref=3.3v and changing the direction by applying high and low???!!

Mahmoud,
PWM pulse is different than STEP pin pulse. PWM pulse is automatically controlled by the DRV8889-Q1 regulation loop.
DRV8889-Q1 is a SPI control device. To get a simple hardware control stepper motor driver, please check www.ti.com/.../DRV8436
BTW, to drive a motor, please check the reference design and provide other input pins correct voltage.
Yes , i know it's a SPI control device ,actually i have red the datasheet and i have the chip and the motor ,but iam asking if i didn't send the SPI commands i think all the write registers have their default values,so can i just send repetitive rising edges to invoke the motor to get step forward?
Hello Wang Li ,
Actually i have pulled up nSLEEP pin after connecting DRVOFF to GND ,then i have connected VREF signal to 3.3v ,then i have connected the STEP pin to PWM signal with freq 333 Hz with Duty 50% but there is no output , but the circuit consume 335mA ..You have any comment for this design?,
Should i set the "DIS_OUT" bit in CTRL2 Register!!
Mahmoud,
"DIS_OUT" default value is 0 that won't block the output.
The circuit consume 335mA. Do you have a scope to monitor output voltage and current? I wound think the motor doesn't move for other reason.
