The L6205, L6206, L6207 are highly integrated, mixed-signal power ICs that allow the user to easily design a control system for two-phase bipolar stepper motors, multiple DC motors and a wide range of inductive loads.
The document introduces the L6205, L6206, and L6207 as highly integrated mixed-signal power ICs designed to drive two-phase bipolar stepper motors, multiple DC motors, and inductive loads. These devices feature eight Power DMOS and include unique circuit design features such as protection circuits and PWM current control to reduce external component count.
The note details the main differences between the three models, including current and voltage ratings, overcurrent protection mechanisms, and specific features like programmable off-time monostable for the L6207. It provides guidance on designing applications, including selecting bulk capacitors, layout considerations, and power management strategies.
| Maximum Output Current (rms) | 2.8A |
|---|---|
| Peak Output Current | 5.6A |
| Total IC RMS Current | 5.6A |
| Supply Voltage Range | 8 to 52V |
| Under Voltage Lock Out Threshold | 6V |
| Resume Voltage Threshold | 7V |
| Drain-Source Breakdown Voltage | 60V |
| Fixed Over Current Trip Point (L6205/L6207) | 5.6 A |
These ICs are specifically developed to drive a wide range of motors, including DC and stepper motors.
The L6206 allows adjusting the trip point of the overcurrent protection for each bridge via external resistors, whereas the L6205 has a fixed trip point.
