The logic inputs are CMOS/TTL and P compatible. The device also includes all the circuitry needed to drive a stepper motor, that is the constant off time PWM control that performs the chopping current control and the state machine that generates the stepping sequence. Other features are the protection of the high side switches against unsafe over current conditions and the thermal shutdown. The L6208 is assembled in PowerDIP24(20+2+2), PowerSO36 and SO24(20+2+2) packages.
