6.7 Linear Voltage Regulator

A linear voltage regulator is integrated in the device. When the VCC pin is connected to DVDD, the DVDD regulator provides power to the low-side gate driver and all the internal circuits. For proper operation, bypass the DVDD pin to GND using a 1 μF ceramic capacitor. The DVDD output is nominally 5-V.

If a digital input must be tied permanently high, tying the input to the DVDD pin instead of an external regulator is preferred. This method saves power when the VM pin is not applied or in sleep mode: the DVDD regulator is disabled and current does not flow through the input pulldown resistors. For reference, logic level inputs have a typical pulldown of 200 kΩ.

The nSLEEP pin cannot be tied to DVDD, else the device will never exit sleep mode.
