Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 R/C passive External R-C timing network input that sets the on-chip oscillator frequency (f = 1/(0.69·R·C) for R>10kΩ).
2 OSC. passive Oscillator node with internal discharge resistor of 1kΩ ±30% switching between the lower (0.33·VCC) and upper (0.66·VCC) thresholds; sets oscillator frequency range 5 to 70kHz.
3 SYNC bidirectional Synchronization pin; connecting the sync pins of multiple L6506 devices to the master's oscillator output allows the master to set the operating frequency of all chips.
4 POWER ENABLE input TTL-compatible logic input (VIH ≥2V, VIL ≤0.8V) that enables the four output drivers.
5 IN 1 input TTL-compatible logic input (VIH ≥2V, VIL ≤0.8V) controlling output channel 1 (OUT1) through the internal AND gate/flip-flop.
6 IN 2 input TTL-compatible logic input (VIH ≥2V, VIL ≤0.8V) controlling output channel 2 (OUT2) through the internal AND gate/flip-flop.
7 IN 3 input TTL-compatible logic input (VIH ≥2V, VIL ≤0.8V) controlling output channel 3 (OUT3) through the internal AND gate/flip-flop.
8 IN 4 input TTL-compatible logic input (VIH ≥2V, VIL ≤0.8V) controlling output channel 4 (OUT4) through the internal AND gate/flip-flop.
9 GND power_in Ground reference pin for the device.
10 N.C. unconnected Not internally connected pin (package pin present on SO20 but unused by the die).
11 N.C. unconnected Not internally connected pin (package pin present on SO20 but unused by the die).
12 VSENSE 1 input Comparator input sensing the voltage across the external current-sense resistor for channel 1, input voltage range -0.3V to 3V, compared against REF1 to regulate peak current.
13 OUT 4 output TTL-compatible logic output for channel 4 (VOH 2 to 3.5V at IOH=400µA, VOL 0.25 to 0.4V at IOL=4mA, source current 2.75mA typ.) driving the external power stage.
14 OUT 3 output TTL-compatible logic output for channel 3 (VOH 2 to 3.5V at IOH=400µA, VOL 0.25 to 0.4V at IOL=4mA, source current 2.75mA typ.) driving the external power stage.
15 OUT 2 output TTL-compatible logic output for channel 2 (VOH 2 to 3.5V at IOH=400µA, VOL 0.25 to 0.4V at IOL=4mA, source current 2.75mA typ.) driving the external power stage.
16 OUT 1 output TTL-compatible logic output for channel 1 (VOH 2 to 3.5V at IOH=400µA, VOL 0.25 to 0.4V at IOL=4mA, source current 2.75mA typ.) driving the external power stage.
17 VSENSE 2 input Comparator input sensing the voltage across the external current-sense resistor for channel 2, input voltage range -0.3V to 3V, compared against REF2 to regulate peak current.
18 REF 1 input Reference voltage input setting the peak-current threshold (Vref) for the channel-1 comparator; Ipeak = Vref/Rsense.
19 REF 2 input Reference voltage input setting the peak-current threshold (Vref) for the channel-2 comparator; Ipeak = Vref/Rsense.
20 VCC power_in Positive supply voltage pin, operating range 4.5V to 7V, absolute maximum 10V, quiescent supply current up to 25mA at VCC=7V.
