the write cycle, the CHIP SELECT goes high, the serial port is

disabled and no more data can be transferred. In addition, the

data written to the serial port is latched and becomes active.

If a word of less than 29 bits is sent, the unused most

significant bits that are not programmed, are reset to zero. There

are no compatibility issues when using the A8904 in an existing

A8902-A application as the five MSBs are reset to zero, which

is the default condition for A8902-A operation. The only

consideration when using the A8904 in an A8902-A application

is to ensure the minimum CHIP SELECT high time is at least

500 ns.

D0 - Sleep/Run Mode; LOW = Sleep, HIGH = Run. This

bit allows the device to be powered down when not in use.

D1 - Step Mode; LOW = Normal Operation, HIGH = Step

Only. When in the step-only mode the back-EMF commutation

circuitry is disabled and the start-up oscillator commutates the

power outputs. This mode is intended for device and system

testing.

D2 - Brake; LOW = Run, HIGH = Brake.

D3, D4, and D28 - The output current limit is set by D3 &

D4; D28 sets the transconductance gain.

D5 to D18 - 14-bit word, active low. Programs the count

number to produce the corresponding REF signal, which

indicates the desired motor speed.

D19 - Speed control mode; LOW = internal, once-around

speed signal, HIGH = external sector data.

D20 and D21 - Programs the number of motor poles for the

once-around FCOM counter.

D24 - Speed Reference. LOW = Internal, using back-EMF

technique, HIGH = External (internal control disabled).

D25 - Direction. LOW = Forward, HIGH = Reverse.

D26 and D27 - Programs the charging current for the

watchdog capacitor. This function is used for adjusting the

blanking duration and also the watchdog commutation period.
