7.3.3.2 H-Bridge Control

In H-bridge control, both half-bridge gate drivers can be controlled as an H-bridge gate driver through the IN1/EN and IN2/PH input pins.

The H-bridge mode has two input control schemes that can be configured through the SPI BRG_MODE register setting or H/W MODE pin. The PH/EN mode allows for the H-bridge to be controlled with a speed/direction type of interface commanded by one PWM signal and one GPIO signal. The PWM mode allows for the H-bridge to be controlled with a more advanced scheme typically requiring two PWM signals. This allows the H-bridge driver to enter four different output states for additional control flexibility if required.

In both the PH/EN and PWM modes the default active freewheeling mode is active low-side. SPI device variants provides the ability to configure the freewheeling state through the BRG_FW register setting. This setting can be utilized to modify the bridge between low-side or high-side active freewheeling.

In the H-Bridge control modes, the nHIZx pins and S_HIZx register functions are disabled. The nHIZx pins can be left disconnected or tied to GND. The H-bridge can be set to the Hi-Z state through the PWM control mode, DRVOFF pin, or the EN_DRV register setting on SPI devices.
