DESCRIPTION
The L6242 is a monolithic integrated circuit in SO-20
package intended for use as a dual power operational amplifier. It is particularly indicated for driving inductive loads as linear motor, and finds application in Hard Disc, Compact-Disc, etc.
The two power operational amplifiers are controlled by a common enable input.
ORDERING NUMBER: L6242
The high gain and output power capability provide
superior performance whatever a power booster
is required.

APPLICATION INFORMATIONS
Figure 1 shows the L6242 configurated as a transconductance amplifier, in order to drive linear
motors as Voice Coil (VCM). The L6242 provides
the power section of the Transconductance Amplifier. The two OP AMP are configurated one as
inverting and the other as noninverting amplifier,
with the same gain. Working in push-pull, they
can be configurated as a bridge. The motor current can be controlled by means of the sense resistor (typical 1Ω) in series with the motor. The
current sense amplifier provides the feedback signal, which is summed to the driving signal at the
node which is the inverting input of the Error Am2/5

plifier. R1 closes the control loop. R2 converts the
input voltage signal, into a current signal.
The snubber network provides the system stability, always required by the application. The network is directly connected to the output pins of
the IC, OUT1 and OUT2, and in parallel with the
load. R4 and C2 could be of different values, depending on the p.c.b. configuration and on the
motor characteristics.
The DC transfer function may be expressed as:
gm = Iout/Vin = k • (R1/R2)
where k = 1/(Rsense • Ad)
and Ad = gain of the current sense amplifier.

OPTIMIZING LAYOUT
Optimizing a PC board layout involves to observe
the following rules which in general can avoid application problems associated with ground loops
and anomalous recirculation currents. The electrolytic capacitor for the power supply must be
kept as close to the IC as possible. It is important
that power grounds are close to each other on a
wide enough. Copper side also, it is important to
separate on the board the logic ground and the
power ground in such a way that the ground
traces for the logic signals and references do not
cross the ground traces for the power signals.
Logic ground and power ground must meet at
one point on the board (startpoint grounding) far
enough away from where the power ground
traces terminate to ground (sense resistors and
recirculation diodes). This is to avoid anomalous
interface with the logic signals. It is generally a
good idea to connect a non inductive capacitor
(typically 100nF) between the pins VS and GND.
In other cases it may be necessary to also place
a by-pass capacitor between the pins Vref and
GND.
