DESCRIPTION
The L6506/D is a linear integrated circuit designed to sense and control the current in stepping motors and similar devices. When used in conjunction with the L293, L298, L7150, L6114/L6115, the chip set forms a constant current drive for an inductive load and performs all the interface function from the con-trol logic thru the power stage.
Two or more devices may be synchronized using the sync pin. In this mode of operation the oscillator in the master chip sets the operating frequency in all chips.

CIRCUIT OPERATION
The L6506 is intended for use with dual bridge driv-ers, such as the L298, quad darlington arrays, such as the L7150, quad DMOS array such as L6114-L6115, or discrete power transistors to drive stepper motors and other similar loads. The main function of the device is to sense and control the current in each of the load windings.
A common on-chip oscillator drives the dual chopper and sets the operating frequency for the pulse width modulated drive. The RC network on pin 1 sets the operating frequency which is given by the equation :
1
f =for R > 10 K
0.69 RC
The oscillator provides pulses to set the two flip-flops which in turn cause the outputs to activate the drive. When the current in the load winding reaches the programmed peak value, the voltage across the sense resistor (R sense ) is equal to V ref and the cor-responding comparator resets its flip-flop interrupt-ing the drive current until the next oscillator pulse oc-curs. The peak current in each winding is pro-grammed by selecting the value of the sense resis-
tor and V ref . Since separate inputs are provided for each chopper, each of the loads may be pro-grammed independently allowing the device to be used to implement microstepping of the motor.Lower threshold of L6506’s oscillator is 1/3 V CC . Up-per threshold is 2/3 V CC and internal discharge re-sistor is 1 K ? ± 30 %.
Ground noise problems in multiple configurations can be avoided by synchronizing the oscillators.This may be done by connecting the sync pins of each of the devices with the oscillator output of the master device and connecting the R/C pin of the un-used oscillators to ground.
The equations for the active time of the sync pulse (T2), the inactive time of the sync signal (T1) and the duty cycle can be found by looking at the figure 1 and are :

By substituting equations 1 and 2 into equation 3and solving for the value of R1 the following equa-tions for the external components can be derived :

Looking at equation 1 it can easily be seen that the minimum pulse width of T2 will occur when the value of R1 is at its minimum and the value of R1 at its maximum. Therefore, when evaluating equation 4the minimum value for R1 of 700? (1 K ? – 30 %)should be used to guarantee the required pulse width.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The circuits shown in figure 2 use the L6506 to im-plement constant current drives for stepper motors.Figure 2 shows the L6506 used with the L298 to drive a 2 phase bipolar motor. The peak current can be calculated using the equation :
V ref
I peak =
R sense The circuit of Fig.2 can be used in applications re-quiring different peak and hold current values by modifying the reference voltage.
The L6506 may be used to implement either full step or half step drives. In the case of 2 phase bipolar stepper motor applications, if a half step drive is used, the bridge requires an additional input to dis-able the power stage during the half step. If used in conjunction with the L298 the enable inputs may be used for this purpose.
For quad darlington array in 4 phase unipolar motor applications half step may be implemented using the 4 phase inputs.
The L6506 may also be used to implement mi-crostepping of either bipolar or unipolar motors.
