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.

area of the printed circuit boards as shown in Figure 3 or to an external heatsink (Figure 4).
During soldering the pin temperature must not exceed 260°C and the soldering time must
not be longer then 12 s. The external heatsink or printed circuit copper area must be
connected to electrical ground.
