L6208 DMOS driver for bipolar stepper motor Datasheet - production data Decoding logic for stepper motor full and half step drive Cross conduction protection Thermal shutdown Undervoltage lockout Integrated fast freewheeling diodes 3 2 RZHU6 Applications Bipolar stepper motor Description The L6208 device is a DMOS fully integrated stepper motor driver with non-dissipative overcurrent protection, realized in BCD technology, which combines isolated DMOS power transistors with CMOS and bipolar circuits 62 on the same chip. The device includes all the circuitry needed to drive a two phase bipolar stepper motor including: a dual DMOS full bridge, the constant off time PWM current controller that V PEHU J QX HULQ 2UG performs the chopping regulation and the phase ,3 ZHU 1 3R / sequence generator, that generates the stepping 62 RZHU 3 3 / sequence. Available in PowerSO36 and SO24 62 / (20 + 2 + 2) packages, the L6208 device features a non-dissipative overcurrent protection on the high-side power MOSFETs and thermal shutdown.
