Question about GND

I have a question, if I use a tester on a controller disconnected, I can see continuity between GND(PwrCtrl) and GND(Vmot), however in page 4 from sdc2130 datasheet both sources are separated.

1.- Can I have problems if I use 12V(PwrCtrl) to supply other electronics circuits ?

2.- Can I get in problems if I use PwrCtrl and Vmot to supply more than 2 controllers at the same time ?
That is to say, if I use the same power supply 12V for 2 or more controllers, or if I use the same power supply (24V) for 2 or more controllers.

3.- How I can decouple PwrCtrl 12V from supply other electronics ? Is it necessary ? Can I use a capacitor for this ?


Thank you,

There should not be any kind of continuity across those terminals.

If they are shorted on those lines, then the controller is defective.

Excuse Me,

I could have a problem with my explication. I attach you a image with this lines showing in green color... Point A (GND on PwrCtrl pins) and Point B (GND on Vmot pins) are join...show contiunity if I use a tester.

¿ Can you confirm your response ? [ Apologies if I made a mistake in my previous post ]

Okay, thanks for the explanation. Yes, the gnd on both the power control and the vmot are on the same path, so that is accurate.

The power control is not part of the output circuit, so whether or not you use that with another controller at the same time I don't foresee as a problem. This allows you to make configuration changes.

The drawback to using the same supply on 2 controllers at once, is the current flow to both will drain the battery faster during operations.
