ST L6210 User Manual

Features

■ Monolithic array of eight Schottky diodes

■ High efficiency

■ 4 A peak current

■ Low forward voltage

■ Fast recovery

■ Time two separated diode bridges

Description

The L6210 is a monolithic IC containing eight
Schottky diodes arranged as two separated diode
bridges.

This diodes connection makes this device
versatile in many applications.

L6210

Dual Schottky diode bridge

PDIP 16

They are used particular in bipolar stepper motor
applications, where high efficient operation, due
to low forward voltage drop and fast reverse
recovery time, are required.
