L6206PD

Full Half-Bridge (H Bridge) Drivers Overview

The L6206PD is a DMOS dual full bridge driver designed for motor control applications, realized in BCD technology. It integrates isolated DMOS power transistors with CMOS and bipolar circuits on the same chip. The device operates within an input voltage range of 8 V to 52 V and delivers a peak output current of 5.6 A, with a continuous DC current rating of 2.8 A. It features a typical RDS(ON) of 0.3 Ω at Tj= 25 °C and supports operating frequencies up to 100 KHz. The component is housed in a PowerSO-36 surface-mount package and functions reliably across a temperature range of -40 °C to +150 °C.

Full Half-Bridge (H Bridge) Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PD' corresponds to the PowerSO-36 package and industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +150°C). Confirm that the ordering part number matches the required reel or tube packaging format, as variations exist within the L6206 family. Ensure compatibility with the target application's voltage and current requirements before finalizing procurement.

Full Half-Bridge (H Bridge) Drivers Selection Notes

Select the L6206PD when a robust dual full bridge solution is needed for brushed DC motors operating between 8 V and 52 V. This variant is suitable for designs requiring the PowerSO-36 package and extended temperature range. Consider the L6206Q if a QFN-48 package or commercial temperature range is preferred instead.

Full Half-Bridge (H Bridge) Drivers Part Context

The L6206PD belongs to the L6206 series of DMOS dual full bridge drivers from STMicroelectronics. These devices are part of a broader ecosystem including evaluation boards like the X-NUCLEO-IHM04A1.
