The device includes all the circuitry needed to drive a two-phase bipolar stepper motor including: a dual DMOSFull Bridge, the constant off time PWM Current Controller that performs the chopping regulation and the Phase Sequence Generator, that generates the stepping sequence. Available in PowerDIP24 (20+2+2), PowerSO36 and SO24 (20+2+2) packages, the L6208 features a non-dissipative overcurrent protection on the high side Power MOSFETs and thermal shutdown.
