 +=====Functional Description =====
 +The %%Pmod DHB1%% utilizes [[http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/drv8833.pdf|TI's DRV8833]] to drive a variety of systems. With the two built in H-Bridges and pull down resistors on the inputs, users may run two DC motors or a single bipolar stepper motor in fast decay mode. 
 +
 +The DRV8833 chip provides over-current protection on the motor drive circuits. Each internal drive FET is independently monitored for an over-current condition and will be shut down internally to protect the chip. When an over-current condition is sensed the chip will shut down the FET with the fault and then set the NFAULT pin low signaling a fault condition on the chip. The remaining FETs will continue to operate as normal. When the fault condition is over, the chip will self-reset and return the NFAULT logic level to logic high.
 +
 +----
 +===== Interfacing with the Pmod=====
 +The %%Pmod DHB1%% communicates with the host board via the [[pmod:communication_protocols:gpio|GPIO protocol]]. By driving the enable (EN) pins with a PWM signal and a logic level low or high voltage signal on the direction (DIR) pins, users are able to run DC motors at various speeds. 
 +
 +A truth table listing out the various possible combinations and results of the EN and DIR pins is provided below:
 +
 +^  DIR1  ^  EN1    ^  Result   |   ^  DIR2  ^  EN2    ^  Result   |
 +|  0     |  0      |  Stop     |:::|  0     |  0      |  Stop     |
 +|  0     |  1/PWM  |  Forward  |:::|  0     |  1/PWM  |  Forward  |
 +|  1     |  0      |  Stop     |:::|  1     |  0      |  Stop     |
 +|  1     |  1/PWM  |  Reverse  |:::|  1     |  1/PWM  |  Reverse  |
 +
 +Note that like all H-Bridges, it is recommended that the EN pin is driven to a low voltage state before changing the voltage state on the DIR pin to ensure that the FETs are not short-circuited. 
 +
 +Two sensor feedback pins for both motors are provided so users can capture the signals coming from any Hall Effect Sensors in quadrature.
