5. FUNCTION OPERATION TABLE
5.1 Power Save Function
This IC can be placed in the power-save mode by making MODE1, MODE2, MODE3, and MODE4 high level.
This function allows holding of the excitation position when the stepping motor mode is selected and the operation to
be started from where the excitation position is held when the power-save mode is cleared. In the power-save mode,
the current consumption is reduced to 20 µA TYP. because the internal circuits other than UVLO are stopped.
The operation modes of ch1 to ch4 can be set by a combination of MODE1 to MODE4. For the combination of the
MODE pins, refer to Table 5−1. MODE Pin Truth Table.
