Application information

A typical bipolar stepper motor driver application using L6228Q is shown in Figure 25.

Typical component values for the application are shown in Table 7. A high quality ceramic

supply and reduce high frequency transients generated by the switching. The capacitor

connected from the EN input to ground sets the shut down time when an over current is

possible in the layout. The sense resistors should be non-inductive resistors to minimize the

dI/dt transients across the resistor. To increase noise immunity, unused logic pins (except

EN) are best connected to 5 V (high logic level) or GND (low logic level) (see pin

description). It is recommended to keep power ground and signal ground separated on PCB.
