DESCRIPTION
The TEF3718 and TEF371 8S are bipolar m onolithic
integrated circuits intended to control and drive the
current in one widing of a bipola r stepper motor. The
circuits c ons is t s of an LS - TLL - c om pat i ble logic input, a current sensor, a monos table and an output
stage with built-in protection diodes. Two TEF3718
or TEF3718S and a few external components form
a complete contr ol and driv e unit for LS -T TL or microproce ss or c ont r olle d s te pper m ot or systems.
