Description
L6219
Stepper motor driver
PDIP24 (20+2+2) SO24 (20+2+2)
A cross conduction protection is provided to avoid
simultaneous cross conduction during switching
current direction.
An internal pulse-width-modulation (PWM)
controls the output current to 750 mA with peak
startup current up to 1 A.
The L6219 is a bipolar monolithic integrated
circuits intended to control and drive both winding
of a bipolar stepper motor or bidirectionally control
two DC motors.
The L6219 with a few external components form a
complete control and drive circuit for LS-TTL or
microprocessor controlled stepper motor system.
The power stage is a dual full bridge capable of
sustaining 46V and including four diodes for
current recirculation.

Wide range of current control from 750 mA (each
bridge) is permitted by means of two logic inputs
and an external voltage reference. A phase input
to each bridge determines the load current
direction. A thermal protection circuitry disables
the outputs if the chip temperature exceeds safe
operating limits.
