The EVAL6206N will help you in evaluating the L6206 in PowerDIP package. It implements a typical application, enabled to run one to four DC motors or one stepper motor. On the board the L6506, PWM current controller, provides the current control for the L6206N power section. Screw connectors provide connection to motor supply rail and 5 V reference for the logic inputs, as well as the four outputs to motor windings.

EVAL6206N can be hooked-up to practiSPIN interface board (EVALpractiSPIN) through a 34-pin connector. This also gives direct access to ICs input signals as well as making possible to provide reference voltages for current control PWM. Operating frequency and reference voltage (independent for the two channels) for the L6506 PWM current control loops could be set by means of three pots placed on the board. Two other pots will set over current trip point for the L6206. EVAL6206N can be used as well to evaluate the L6226N product just adjusting pot settings.

Features

The practiSPIN evaluation environment consists of these main components:

• A dedicated evaluation board for each device
• A hardware interface board based on the ST72264 microcontroller (EVALPRACTISPIN)
• User interface software that runs on a Windows Based PC
• Serial interface to PC
• Automatic download of driver Firmware to interface card
