current-sense comparator when the outputs are switched by
the internal current-control circuitry. The comparator out-
put is blanked to prevent false over-current detection due
to reverse recovery currents of the clamp diodes, and/or
switching transients related to the capacitance of the load.

Shutdown. In the event of a fault (excessive junction

device are disabled until the fault condition is removed. At
power up, and in the event of low V
lockout (UVLO) circuit disables the drivers and resets the
translator to the HOME state.
Sleep Mode (SLEEP). An active-low control input used
to minimize power consumption when not in use. This
disables much of the internal circuitry including the output
DMOS, regulator, and charge pump. A logic high allows
normal operation and startup of the device in the home
position. When coming out of sleep mode, wait
1 ms before issuing a STEP command to allow the charge
pump (gate drive) to stabilize.
Percent Fast Decay Input (PFD). When a STEP input
signal commands a lower output current from the previous
step, it switches the output current decay to either slow-,
fast-, or mixed-decay depending on the voltage level at the
PFD input. If the voltage at the PFD input is greater than
0.6 V
on the PFD input is less than 0.21 V
mode is selected. Mixed decay is between these two levels.
This terminal should be decoupled with a 0.1 μF capacitor.
Mixed Decay Operation. If the voltage on the PFD in-
put is between 0.6V
ate in mixed-decay mode depending on the step sequence
(see fi gures). As the trip point is reached, the device will
go into fast-decay mode until the voltage on the RC termi-
nal decays to the voltage applied to the PFD terminal. The
time that the device operates in fast decay is approximated
by:
switch to slow-decay mode for the remainder of the fi xed
off-time period.
