The EVAL6206Q demonstration board allows the
user to test the L6206Q functions. The dual full
bridges integrated into the L6206Q can be used
to drive a single 2-phase stepper motor or up to
four DC motors (unidirectional). The bridges can
also operate in parallel mode. The board can be
driven using the STEVAL-PCC009V2
communication board and the PractiSPIN 2
evaluation software.
