Description
The L6208Q device is a DMOS fully integrated
stepper motor driver with non-dissipative
overcurrent protection, realized in BCDmultipower
technology, which combines isolated DMOS
power transistors with CMOS and bipolar circuits
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 performs the chopping regulation, and the
phase sequence generator that generates the
stepping sequence. Available in a VFQFPN48
7 x 7 mm package, the L6208Q features a non-
dissipative overcurrent protection on the high-side
Power MOSFETs and thermal shutdown.
