The reactance and inductance questions are above my pay grade and I’d be happy 
to hear someone explain it. :) I use these for robotics class in place of the 
old BJT L298, which are optimistically rated for 2 amps but have more than 2v 
drop at much less than that current.  

Maybe I don’t understand your comment but I’m pretty sure that a 50% duty cycle 
PWM waveform will run the motor at half-voltage.

You command the direction with INa and INb according to the Truth Table. The 
PWM signal will then switch either the A or B low-side FETs, depending on the 
INa/INb configuration.
