Logic “1” = OPEN
All three inputs (run/stop, freewheel, and direction) are pulled up through 20k Ohm resistors.
Direction Control: (TB3, Pin 2)
Logic “1” (open) - Clockwise
Logic “0” - Counterclockwise
Freewheel: (TB3, Pin 3)
Logic “1” (open) - Motor is Enabled
Logic “0” - Motor is de-energized and will coast 
Run/Stop: (TB3, Pin 4)
Logic “1” (open) - Motor will not run and if running will come...

Hall Sensor Power Output:
6.25V @ 30mA maximum. Typical current draw from hall sensor is 20mA.
All three Hall Sensor inputs are pulled up through 20K ohm resistors.
The external speed control potentiometer must be 10K Ohms.
Open Loop/Closed Loop (Constant Velocity Mode)
The driver can either be set for Open Loop or Closed Loop operation.  Open Loop operation is used 
for applications where the speed of the motor needs to change according to the load.  Closed Loop 
operation is...

Motor Freewheel
The motor freewheel feature allows the de-energizing of the motor phases.  A high (open) input at 
this input causes the motor to run at the given speed, while a low at this input causes the motor to 
coast to a stop. 
Motor Run/Stop
The motor run/stop feature allows the stopping of a motor by shorting out the bottom drives of the 
three phases.  A low at this input allows the motor to run, while a high (open) input does not allow 
motor operation and if operating...

Speed Output
The PG OUT terminal (TB3 - pin 1) is used to determine the speed of the motor shaft.  A 5V signal 
pulse out is shown at a rate of 4 pulses for 1 revolution of an 8-pole motor, 3 pulses for 1 revolution 
of a 6-pole motor, and 2 pulses for 1 revolution of a 4-pole motor.
# Poles RPM

6 20 * PG OUT (in Hz)
4 30 * PG OUT (in Hz)
Heating Considerations
The temperature of the heat sink should never be allowed to rise above 70° Celsius.  If necessary,...
