DRV8824: After sleep mode, condtion of ELECTRICAL angle

Part Number: DRV8824

Hi all

Would you mind if we ask DRV8824?

<Question1>
After sleep mode or Reset input, we assume that the device returns to initial condition.
So, does condtion of ELECTRICAL angle returns to initial condition?
For example, with 1/32 step indexer setting

1. 17 pulse input -> ELECTRICAL angle 45
2. sleep or reset input -> the device  returns to initial condition.
3. The device starts with ELECTRICAL angle 0

Is our recognition correct?

<Question2>
In case of <Question1>,  we have question mechanical contents.(If you have some knowleadge, could you let us know?)
In case of <Question1> with "3.", device starts with ELECTRICAL angle 0.
However, the steppinng motor stays at electrical angle 45.
There is the difference between the motor location and the device recognitipn.
However, with step pulse input, motor doesn't move until electrical angle 45.
After the device reaches at electrical angle 45, the motor starts to move.
Is our recognition correct?

Kind regards,

    During power up, undervoltage lockout, exiting sleep, or reset the device returns to the home state. The home state is electrical angle 45 degrees.

    Please refer to section 8.3.6 which describes that nRESET low resets the step table to the home state (45 degrees). As previously mentioned, the following events reset the step table:

    nRESET low
    exit from sleep mode
    Power up with nSLEEP and nRESET high
    Undervoltage lockout
