Motor controller circuitry configured to operate two or more motors by driving the motors connected to output terminals of the motor controller circuitry. Each output terminal of the motor controller circuitry may connect to a driver circuit of the motor controller circuitry. Two, or more, of the motors may share an output terminal. For motors that share an output terminal, the operation of a first motor may affect the operation of other motors connected to that shared output terminal. The motor controller circuitry may store information about which output terminals may be paired, that is, which output terminals may connect to the same motor. Based on pairing information stored by the motor controller circuitry, protection circuitry of the motor controller circuitry may operate to prevent nuisance shutdown of a motor because the operation of another motor that shares the same output pin.
