In motor systems, voltage spikes and ringing noise can appear on the output terminals. These spikes can degrade the performance of the motor system, increase EMI noise, and even cause damage if not controlled.
Switch-node ringing noise is the results…
Two common interfaces used to control brushed DC motors are Phase/Enable (PH/EN) and PWM. Both of these interfaces require 2 signals to be able to fully control brushed DC motors or other types of load connected to the outputs of a motor driver.
Phase…
