apply the PWM signal to one input pin and keep

the other input pin high. See Table 2 for more

configuration details and Figure 5 for detailed

waveforms.

Internal PWM Current Control

For this control method, the motor current is

regulated by an internal constant off-time PWM

current control circuit as the following:

 Initially, a diagonal pair of MOSFETs

turns on so current can flow through the

motor winding.

 The current increases in the motor

winding, which is sensed by an external

MOSFET always turns on in spite of

current limit detection.

the internal reference voltage threshold

the

high-side

MOSFET.

 The stepper motor’s inductance causes

the current to freewheel through the two

low-side MOSFETs (slow decay).

 During this freewheeling time, the current

decreases until the internal clock reaches

its’ constant off time (typically 27µs). After

that, the high-side MOSFET is enabled to

increase the winding current again.

 The cycle then repeats.

Sleep Mode

The MP6507 provides low-power standby sleep

mode.

Connect the nSLEEP pin to logic low to enable a

low-power sleep state. In this state, the two full

bridges are disabled and the internal circuits

such as the gate drive, internal regulator, and

charge pump all shut down. Connect the

nSLEEP pin to logic high to wake up the MP6507
