8.5.2 Low-Power Sleep Mode

When the IN1 and IN2 pins are both low for time tSLEEP, the DRV8231 device enters a low-power sleep mode. In sleep mode, the outputs remain High-Z and the device draws minimal current from the supply pin (IVMQ). If the device is powered up while all inputs are low, it immediately enters sleep mode. After any of the input pins are set high for longer than the duration of tWAKE, the device becomes fully operational. Figure 8-6 shows an example timing diagram for entering and leaving sleep mode.
