47
11
RETRACT
An active-low logic input that initiates the retract sequence.
50
12
FAULT
A logic low at this MOS output indicates a thermal shutdown, under-voltage fault, or retract command.
51
13
MP
RESET
(Power-On Reset) A logic low at this open-collector output may be used to reset the system on
under-voltage fault or power ON.
