The nRESET pin, when driven active low, resets the internal logic. It also disables the H-bridge driver. All inputs are ignored while nRESET is active.

Driving nSLEEP low will put the device into a low power sleep state. In this state, the H-bridges are disabled, the gate drive charge pump is stopped, the V3P3OUT regulator is disabled, and all internal clocks are stopped. In this state all inputs are ignored until nSLEEP returns inactive high. When returning from sleep mode, some time (approximately 1 ms) needs to pass before the motor driver becomes fully operational. Note that nRESET and nSLEEP have internal pulldown resistors of approximately 100 kΩ. These signals need to be driven to logic high for device operation.
