LM18298 Dual Full-Bridge Driver
LM18298 Dual Full-Bridge Driver
April 1992
General Description
The LM18298 is a high voltage, high current dual full-bridge
driver designed to accept standard TTL logic levels and
drive inductive loads such as relays, solenoids, DC and
stepping motors. Two enable inputs are provided to gate the
input control signals.
The emitters of the lower transistors of each bridge are connected together and the corresponding external terminal
can be used for the connection of a current sensing resistor.
An additional supply input is provided to accommodate conventional logic supply voltages.
