L295
MULTIWATT1 5
ORDERING NUMBER: L295
DESCRIPTION
The L295 is a monolithic integrated circuit in a 15
-lead Multiwatt® package; it incorporates all the
functions for direct interfacing between digital circuitry and inductive loads.
The L295 is designed to accept standard microprocessor logic levels at the inputs and can drive
2 solenoids. The output current is completely con-

trolled by means of a switch-ing techniq ue allowing very efficient operation.
Furthermore, it includes an enable input and dual
supplies (for interfacing with peripherals running at
a higher voltage than the logic).
The L295 is particularly suitable for applications
such as hammer driving in matrix printers, step
motor driving and electromagnet controllers.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The L295 incorporates two indipendent driver channals with separate inputs and outputs, each capable of
driving an inductive load (see block diagram). The device is controlled by three micriprocessor compatible
digital inputs and two analog inputs.
