9.2.1.2.2 Control Interface

Section 8.3.2.1 describes the PWM control interface. The DRV8212P is pin-to-pin compatible with the DRV8837 and DRV8837C PCB footprints. Figure 9-3 and Figure 9-4 show waveform examples of driving a motor with the PWM interface. Figure 9-5 and Figure 9-6 show waveform examples of driving a single-coil relay with the PWM interface. The relay can be driven between the forward/reverse states and the brake/coast states as shown in the figures.
