place the shunt on J2.

The parallel mode can now be controlled using the BINx sliders. The operation is the same as normal
mode.
a. For slow decay mode, decreasing BIN1 while holding BIN2 at 100% causes the brushed motor to run
in one direction. Decreasing BIN2 while holding BIN1 at 100% causes the brushed motor to run in the
opposite direction.
b. For fast decay mode, increasing BIN1 while holding BIN2 at 0% causes the brushed motor to run in
one direction. Increasing BIN2 while holding BIN1 at 0% causes the brushed motor to move in the
opposite direction.

Stepper Mode Operation

The DRV8848 EVM provides the ability to operate a stepper motor in full step mode. The firmware
provides the necessary timing pulses on the INAx/INBx input signals to drive the stepper at the desired
speed and direction.
To use the stepper feature, set the Mode select pulldown to Stepper mode.
Set the desired stepper step and direction, and then select RUN. The stepper speed and direction can be
changed as the motor is running but may cause the motor to stall.
