L6258EX is a DMOS dual full bridge, suitable for double winding or bidirectional DC motor control applications of bipolar stepper motor, with high efficiency phase shift chopping, which can achieve very low current ripple at the lowest current control level, making this device ideal for stepper motors as well as for DC motors.
The L6258EX is a dual full bridge motor driver designed for bipolar stepper motor or DC motor control applications. It features a wide voltage range of 12V to 40V and can drive up to 1.5A per winding in continuous mode, with peak start-up currents up to 2A. The device includes built-in recirculation diodes and thermal protection circuitry.
