L8202 provides PWM bi-directional drive for two DC motors.
The PWM modulation is provided by the MDx_PWM input, and the current direction into the motor by the
MDCx_D bit in the serial input port.
The driver is protected versus overloads on the output lines to a max. current of 2 Amps peak.
The current protection circuit is implemented only on the High Side Drivers, so current protection is pro-
vided to motor currents only, but not to shorts between Motor Outputs to GND or Vs.
A blanking period following a current turn-on event is included to prevent false current protection.
The H Bridges are protected versus cross-conduction.
Thermal protection with hysteresys is provided to the Motor Drivers.
During thermal protection event the Bridge Outputs are forced into a high impedance status.
If nReset is low the motor drive outputs are forced in high impedance
