L6399High voltage high and low-side driver | Integrated Circuits (ICs) | 1 | Active | The L6399 is a high voltage device manufactured using BCD™ "offline" technology. It is a single- chip half bridge gate driver for N-channel power MOSFETs or IGBTs.
The high-side (floating) section is designed to withstand a voltage rail up to 600 V. The logic inputs are CMOS/TTL compatible down to 3.3 V for easy microcontroller/DSP interfacing. |
L6472Fully integrated microstepping motor driver with motion engine and SPI | Power Management (PMIC) | 3 | Active | The L6472 device, 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 RDS(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 new current control, a 1/16 microstepping is achieved through an adaptive decay mode which outperforms traditional implementations. The digital control core can generate user defined motion profiles with acceleration, deceleration, speed or target position, easily programmed through a dedicated register set.
All application commands and data registers, including those used to set analog values (i.e.: current control value, current protection trip point, deadtime, etc.) are sent through a standard 5-Mbit/s SPI.
A very rich set of protections (thermal, low bus voltage, overcurrent) makes the L6472 device "bullet proof", as required by the most demanding motor control applications. |

L6498High voltage high and low-side 2 A gate driver | Gate Drivers | 2 | Active | The L6498 is a high voltage device manufactured with the BCD6 "OFF-LINE" technology. It is a single chip half-bridge gate driver for the N-channel power MOSFET or IGBT.
The high-side (floating) section is designed to stand a DC voltage rail up to 500 V, with 600 V transient withstand voltage. The logic inputs are CMOS/TTL compatible down to 3.3 V for easy interfacing control units such as microcontrollers or DSP.
Both device outputs can sink 2.5 A and source 2 A, making the L6498 particularly suited for medium and high capacity power MOSFETs\IGBTs.
The outputs cannot be simultaneously driven high thanks to an integrated interlocking function.
The independent UVLO protection circuits present on both the lower and upper driving sections prevent the power switches from being operated in low efficiency or dangerous conditions.
The integrated bootstrap diode as well as all of the integrated features of this driver make the application PCB design simpler and more compact, and help to reduce the overall bill of material. |
L6506Current Controller For Stepping Motors | Motor Drivers, Controllers | 1 | Active | 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 control 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. |
L6561Transition mode power factor corrector | Integrated Circuits (ICs) | 1 | NRND | L6561 is the improved version of the L6560 standard Power Factor Corrector. Fully compatible with the standard version, it has a superior performant multiplier making the device capable of working in wide input voltage range applications (from 85V to 265V) with an excellent THD. Furthermore the start up current has been reduced at few tens of mA and a disable function has been implemented on the ZCD pin, guaranteeing lower current consumption in stand by mode.
Realised in mixed BCD technology, the chip gives the following benefits:micro power start up current1% precision internal reference voltage(Tj= 25°C)Soft Output Over Voltage Protectionno need for external low pass filter on the current sensevery low operating quiescent current minimises power dissipation
The totem pole output stage is capable of driving a Power MOS or IGBT with source and sink currents of ±400mA. The device is operating in transition mode and it is optimised for Electronic Lamp Ballast application, AC-DC adaptors and SMPS. |
L6563HHigh voltage start-up transition-mode PFC | PFC (Power Factor Correction) | 2 | Active | The L6563H is a current-mode PFC controller operating in transition mode (TM) which embeds the same features existing in the L6563S with the addition of a high voltage start-up source. These functions make the IC especially suitable for applications that have to be compliant with energy saving regulations and where the PFC pre-regulator works as the master stage.
The highly linear multiplier, along with a special correction circuit that reduces crossover distortion of the mains current, allows wide-range-mains operation with an extremely low THD even over a large load range.
The output voltage is controlled by means of a voltage-mode error amplifier and an accurate (1% at Tj = 25 °C) internal voltage reference. Loop's stability is optimized by the voltage feedforward function (1/V2correction), which in this IC uses a proprietary technique that considerably improves line transient response as well in case of mains both drops and surges ("bidirectional").
Additionally, the IC provides the option for tracking boost operation, i.e. the output voltage is changed tracking the mains voltage.
The device includes disable functions suitable for remote ON/OFF control too.
In addition to an over voltage protection able to keep the output voltage under control during transient conditions, the IC is provided also with a protection against feedback loop failures or erroneous settings. Other on-board protection functions allow that brownout conditions and boost inductor saturation can be safely handled.
An interface with the PWM controller of the DC-DC converter supplied by the PFC pre-regulator is provided: the purpose is to stop the operation of the converter in case of anomalous conditions for the PFC stage (feedback loop failure, boost inductor's core saturation, etc.) and to handle the PFC stage in case of light load for the DC-DC converter, to make it easier to comply with energy saving regulations (Blue Angel, EnergyStar, Energy2000, etc.).
The totem-pole output stage, capable of 600 mA source and 800 mA sink current, is suitable for big MOSFET or IGBT drive. This, combined with the other features and the possibility to operate with ST's proprietary fixed-off-time control, makes the device an excellent solution for SMPS up to 400 W that need to be compliant with EN61000-3-2 and JEITA-MITI standards. |
L6565Quasi-resonant Controller | Integrated Circuits (ICs) | 1 | Obsolete | The L6565 is a current-mode primary controller IC, specifically designed to build offline Quasi-resonant ZVS (Zero Voltage Switching at switch turn-on) flyback converters.
Quasi-resonant operation is achieved by means of a transformer demagnetization sensing input that triggers MOSFET's turn-on.
Converter's power capability variations with the mains voltage are compensated by line voltage feedforward. At light load the device features a special function that automatically lowers the operating frequency still maintaining the operation as close to ZVS as possible. In addition to very low start-up and quiescent currents, this feature helps keep low the consumption from the mains at light load and be Blue Angel and Energy Star compliant.
The IC includes also a disable function, an on-chip filter on current sense, an error amplifier with a precise reference voltage for primary regulation and an effective two-level overcurrent protection. |
L6566BHMulti-mode controller for SMPS | AC DC Converters, Offline Switchers | 3 | Active | The L6566BH is an extremely versatile current-mode primary controller IC, specifically designed for high-performance offline flyback converters running off rectified 3-phase input lines. It is also suited to single-stage, single-switch, input-current-shaping converters (single-stage PFC) for applications that must comply with EN61000-3-2 or JEITA-MITI regulations.
Both fixed-frequency (FF) and quasi-resonant (QR) operation are supported. The user can choose either of the two depending on application needs. The device features an externally programmable oscillator: it defines the converter switching frequency in FF mode and the maximum allowed switching frequency in QR mode.
When FF operation is selected, the ICs work as a standard current-mode controller with a maximum duty cycle limited to 70% min. The oscillator frequency can be modulated to mitigate EMI emissions.
QR operation, when selected, occurs at heavy load and is achieved through a transformer demagnetization sensing input that triggers MOSFET turn-on. Under some conditions, ZVS (zero-voltage switching) can be achieved. The converter’s power capability rise with the mains voltage is compensated by line voltage feedforward. At medium and light load, as the QR operating frequency equals the oscillator frequency, a function (valley skipping) is activated to prevent further frequency rise and keep the operation as close to ZVS as possible.
With either FF or QR operation, at very light load the ICs enter a controlled burst-mode operation that, along with the built-in, non-dissipative, high-voltage startup circuit and the low quiescent current, helps keep the consumption from the mains low and meet energy saving recommendations.
An innovative adaptive UVLO helps minimize the issues related to the fluctuations of the self-supply voltage due to transformer parasites.
The protection functions included in this device are: not-latched input undervoltage (brownout), output OVP (auto-restart or latch-mode selectable), a first-level OCP with delayed shutdown to protect the system during overload or short-circuit conditions (auto-restart or latch-mode selectable), and a second-level OCP that is invoked when the transformer saturates or there is a short-circuit of the secondary diode. A latched disable input allows easy implementation of OTP with an external NTC, while an internal shutdown prevents IC overheating.
Programmable soft-start, leading-edge blanking on the current sense input for greater noise immunity, slope compensation (in FF mode only), and a shutdown function for externally controlled burst-mode operation or remote ON/OFF control complete the features of this device. |
