L6210 Dual Schottky diode bridge Features ■ Monolithic array of eight Schottky diodes ■ High efficiency ■ 4 A peak current ■ Low forward voltage ■ Fast recovery ■ Time two separated diode bridges Description PDIP 16 The L6210 is a monolithic IC containing eight Schottky diodes arranged as two separated diode bridges. This diodes connection makes this device versatile in many applications. They are used particular in bipolar stepper motor applications, where high efficient operation, due to low forward voltage drop and fast reverse recovery time, are required. The L6210 is available in a 16 pin powerdip package (12 + 2 + 2) designed for the 0 to 70°C ambient temperature range. Table 1.

L6210 3 Mounting instructions Mounting instructions The Rth j-amb of the L6210 can be reduced by soldering the GND pins to suitable copper area of the printed circuit boards as shown in Figure 3 or to an external heatsink (Figure 4). During soldering the pin temperature must not exceed 260°C and the soldering time must not be longer then 12 s. The external heatsink or printed circuit copper area must be connected to electrical ground. Figure 3. Example of PC board copper area which is used as heatsink Figure 4. Example of an external heatsink 5/8 Package information 4 L6210 Package information In order to meet environmental requirements, ST (also) offers these devices in ECOPACK® packages.
