Re: LMD18201

I just noticed something.....

If I had the Direction Pin(3) hooked up the the PWM signal, and have the PWM Pin(5) hooked onto logic high, this way I use only PWM for direction and magnitude control. according to the Logic chart, I would be switching from (Source 1, Sink 2) to (Sink1 , Source 2) back and forth. Isn't that bad for the motor controller? I would be switching high currents at high frequencies....
