SCALE™-2 2SC0108T2Dx-xx Preliminary Description & Application Manual MOD (mode selection) The MOD input allows the operating mode to be selected with a resistor connected to GND. Direct mode If the MOD input is connected to GND, direct mode is selected. In this mode, there is no interdependence between the two channels.
SCALE™-2 2SC0108T2Dx-xx Preliminary Description & Application Manual INA, INB (channel drive inputs, e.g. PWM) INA and INB are basically drive inputs, but their function depends on the MOD input (see above). They safely recognize signals in the whole logic-level range between 3.3V and 15V. Both input terminals feature Schmitt- trigger characteristics (refer to the driver data sheet /3/).
