STMicroelectronics · Stepper Motor Driver · SOIC-20-300mil
L6506D from STMicroelectronics, in a SOIC-20-300mil. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.
Pinout
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | R/C | passive | RC network pin that sets the oscillator frequency f = 1/(0.69RC) for R > 10 kΩ, within the 5 to 70 kHz range. |
| 2 | OSC. | bidirectional | Oscillator output used to drive the sync pins of other devices when synchronizing several chips. |
| 3 | SYNC | bidirectional | Synchronization pin connected to the master oscillator output so the master sets the operating frequency in all chips. |
| 4 | POWER ENABLE | input | TTL-compatible enable input common to the four output AND gates (VIH min 2 V, VIL max 0.8 V). |
| 5 | IN 1 | input | TTL-compatible logic input for OUT 1 (VIH min 2 V, VIL max 0.8 V). |
| 6 | IN 2 | input | TTL-compatible logic input for OUT 2 (VIH min 2 V, VIL max 0.8 V). |
| 7 | IN 3 | input | TTL-compatible logic input for OUT 3 (VIH min 2 V, VIL max 0.8 V). |
| 8 | IN 4 | input | TTL-compatible logic input for OUT 4 (VIH min 2 V, VIL max 0.8 V). |
| 9 | GND | power_in | Ground pin. |
| 10 | N.C. | unconnected | Not connected internally. |
| 11 | N.C. | unconnected | Not connected internally. |
| 12 | VSENSE 1 | input | Comparator 1 sense input from the sense resistor, input voltage range -0.3 to 3 V. |
| 13 | OUT 4 | output | TTL-compatible drive output 4 with VOH min 2 V at 400 µA and source current of 2.75 mA at VCC = 4.75 V. |
| 14 | OUT 3 | output | TTL-compatible drive output 3 with VOH min 2 V at 400 µA and source current of 2.75 mA at VCC = 4.75 V. |
| 15 | OUT 2 | output | TTL-compatible drive output 2 with VOH min 2 V at 400 µA and source current of 2.75 mA at VCC = 4.75 V. |
| 16 | OUT 1 | output | TTL-compatible drive output 1 with VOH min 2 V at 400 µA and source current of 2.75 mA at VCC = 4.75 V. |
| 17 | VSENSE 2 | input | Comparator 2 sense input from the sense resistor, input voltage range -0.3 to 3 V. |
| 18 | REF 1 | input | Reference voltage input for comparator 1; peak current is Vref/Rsense. |
| 19 | REF 2 | input | Reference voltage input for comparator 2; peak current is Vref/Rsense. |
| 20 | VCC | power_in | Supply voltage, 4.5 V to 7 V operating, 10 V absolute maximum. |
