L295 [STMicroelectronics]

L295 Description

The L295 is a monolithic integrated circuit in a 15-lead Multiwatt? package; it incorporates all the functions for direct interfacing between digital circuitry and inductive loads. The L295 is designed to accept standard microprocessor logic levels at the inputs and can drive 2 solenoids. The output current is completely controlled by means of a switch-ing technique allowing very efficient operation.
Furthermore, it includes an enable input and dual supplies (for interfacing with peripherals running at a higher voltage than the logic). The L295 is particularly suitable for applications such as hammer driving in matrix printers, step motor driving and electromagnet controllers.
