DESCRIPTION
The L6234 is a triple half bridge to drive a
brushlessmotor.
It is realized in Multipower BCD technology which
combines isolated DMOS power transistors with
CMOSand Bipolar circuitson thesame chip.
By usingmixed technology ithas been possibleto
optimizethelogic circuitry and the power stage to
achievethe best possibleperformance.
The output DMOS transistors can sustain a very
high current due to the fact that the DMOS structure is not affected by the second breakdown ef-

fect, the RMS maximum current is practically limited by the dissipation capability of the package.
All the logic inputs are TTL, CMOS andµP compatible. Each channel is controlled by two separatelogic input.
L6234 is availablein 20 pin POWERDIP package
(16+2+2)and in PowerSO20.

THERMALCHARACTERISTICS

. The thermal resistance is referred to
the thermal path from the dissipating region on
the top surface of the silicon chip, to the points
along the four central pins of the package, at a
distanceof 1.5 mm away from the stand-offs.
R
th j-amb1
If a dissipating surface, thick at least 35 µm, and
with a surface similar or bigger than the one
shown, is created making use of the printed circuit.
Such heatsinking surface is considered on the
bottomside of an horizontalPCB (worstcase).
R
th j-amb2
If the power dissipating pins (the four central
Figure1: Printed Heatsink
ones), as well as the others, have a minimum
thermal connection with the external world (very
thin stripsonly) so that the dissipation takes place
throughstill air and throughthe PCB itself.
It is the same situation of point above,without any
heatsinking surface created on purpose on the
board.
