Note: As long as the voltages applied to VCC, VS1, VS2, ENA1, ENA2, IN1, and IN2 are within the limits set by the

absolute maximum ratings, there are no restrictions on the relationship of each voltage level in comparison with the

others (regarding which is higher or lower). (ex. VCC = 3V, VS1, 2 = 2V, ENA = IN = 5V)

Vcont pin

As shown in the left diagram, the Vcont pin outputs the voltage

of the band gap Zener VZ +VF (= 1.93V).

In normal use, this pin is left open.

The drive current ID is varied by the Vcont voltage. However,

because the band gap Zener is shared, it functions as a bridge.
