Ⅲ. Pin configuration and description

In order to better understand the functions and applications of the CST6116A, it is important to understand its pin configuration. The following is the main pin of the chip and its function description:

1. Power Input Pin (VDD)

It is used to connect the power supply voltage and usually works in the range of 2V to 6V. This pin provides the required power for the chip.

2. Ground pin (GND)

Common ground point for all electrical components to ensure circuit stability and safety.

3. PWM input pins (INA and INB)

It is used to receive PWM signals to control speed and direction. By adjusting the input signals of these two pins, the motor action can be flexibly controlled.

4. Output pins (OUTA and OUTB)

Two terminals connected to the motor to drive the operation of the motor. The voltage and current output from these two pins determine the speed and torque of the motor.

IV、Typical application circuit

In actual use, the typical application circuit of CST6116A is shown in the following figure. This circuit shows how the chip can be connected to power supplies, motors, and control signals to achieve full drive function.
