PWM Motor Drivers
DRV8833 contains two identical H-bridge motor drivers with current-control PWM circuitry. A block diagram of the
circuitry is shown below:

Bridge Control and Decay Modes
The AIN1 and AIN2 input pins control the state of the AOUT1 and AOUT2 outputs; similarly, the BIN1 and BIN2
input pins control the state of the BOUT1 and BOUT2 outputs. Table 2 shows the logic.

The inputs can also be used for PWM control of the motor speed. When controlling a winding with PWM, when
the drive current is interrupted, the inductive nature of the motor requires that the current must continue to flow.
This is called recirculation current. To handle this recirculation current, the H-bridge can operate in two different
states, fast decay or slow decay. In fast decay mode, the H-bridge is disabled and recirculation current flows
through the body diodes; in slow decay, the motor winding is shorted.
To PWM using fast decay, the PWM signal is applied to one xIN pin while the other is held low; to use slow
decay, one xIN pin is held high.
