With the exception of the pins labeled “D2 1=2” and “SF 1=2”, all of the through-holes not highlighted in the
above diagram are only relevant when using this driver as an Arduino shield. The “D2 1=2” and “SF 1=2” pins
are explained in the “Pinout” portion of

Section 4.b

, but they will not be needed in typical applications and can

generally be ignored.

4.b. Board Connections

Using the dual MC33926 motor driver shield with a microcontroller (gray connections are

optional).

The above diagram shows the minimum connections typically required to interface this motor driver with a
microcontroller. Note that D2 is internally pulled low, which disables the motor outputs; it must either be
connected to an I/O line (for dynamic control) or soldered to the neighboring VDD pin to enable the drivers. Only
two pins are required per motor: direction control with MxDIR and speed control with MxPWM.
