Description
The L6470, realized in analog mixed signal
technology, is an advanced fully integrated
solution suitable for driving two-phase bipolar
stepper motors with microstepping. It integrates a
dual low R
DS(on)
DMOS full-bridge with all of the
power switches equipped with an accurate on-
chip current sensing circuitry suitable for non-
dissipative current control and overcurrent
protection. Thanks to a unique control system, a
true 1/128 steps resolution is achieved. The
digital control core can generate user defined
motion profiles with acceleration, deceleration,
speed or target position, easily programmed
through a dedicated registers set. All commands
and data registers, including those used to set
analogue values (i.e. current control value,
current protection trip point, deadtime, PWM
frequency, etc.) are sent through a standard 5-
Mbit/s SPI. A very rich set of protections (thermal,
low bus voltage, overcurrent, motor stall) allows
the design of a fully protected application, as
required by the most demanding motor control
applications.
