Small question about l6203 !!

[black-code]

Hello all,..

I am using l6203 with atmega32 mc to make a speed control for a dc motor by using pwm technique.

1-
I want to ask when i connect the pin of the pwm to the l6203 h-bridge it shoul be connected to the in1 pin of the h-bridge and giving the another in2 pin 0 (reverse the states of in1 and in2 for the opposite direction) and the enable will be always high.

or:

2-
Connect the pwm pin to the enable pin of the h-bridge and make in1 high and in2 low (reverse the states of in1 and in2 for the opposite direction) ??

In my connections i used the second method, i am correct or not??

Hint: my h-bridge burned out many times but i wasn't connect the bootstrap capacitors at pins 4,8 so if applying pwm to the enable pin of the h-bridge may cause a damage to the h-bridge or the missing bootstrap capacitors is only the reason of that problem.

Thanks.

Hi,
Both connections work in identical way and it would not make any difference. Always try to follow the manufacurer's application notes unless you have a specific reason to change, because the manufacturers know inside out of the product. So, the failure should have come due to reasons outside the connections 1 or 2 given by you.
