Product details
Overview
E-L6219DSATR from STMicroelectronics is a bipolar stepper motor driver IC in SO24 package, delivering up to 750 mA continuous current per winding with 46 V max supply voltage, internal PWM current control, thermal shutdown, and built-in recirculation diodes-used in precision open-loop motion control for industrial automation and CNC positioning systems.
For engineers reviewing the E-L6219DSATR datasheet, E-L6219DSATR pinout, E-L6219DSATR application, or E-L6219DSATR equivalent, key selection criteria include bipolar H-bridge topology, dual-winding current regulation via external sense resistor and VREF, phase-controlled direction logic, RC-set off-time, and thermal protection behavior under sustained load.
Technical Context
The L6219DSA integrates two independent full H-bridges with Darlington source/saturated sink output stages, each supporting bidirectional current flow up to ±750 mA continuous (±1 A peak). Current regulation uses comparator-based PWM with selectable trip thresholds (via I0/I1 logic inputs) and externally set off-time (RT/CT network).
Logic interface includes TTL-compatible Phase, I0, and I1 inputs with Schmitt-trigger noise immunity and cross-conduction prevention delay. Internal thermal shutdown activates at 170 °C junction temperature, and the device operates across -40 °C to +125 °C ambient with unstabilized motor supply (10–46 V) and separate 4.75–5.25 V logic rail (VSS).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output current (continuous) | ±750 mA per bridge - sets maximum holding torque and low-speed step accuracy |
| Supply voltage range (VS) | 10 V to 46 V - supports wide-range unregulated DC motor supplies without external regulators |
| Logic supply (VSS) | 4.75 V to 5.25 V - requires stable 5 V rail for reliable TTL-level input decoding |
| Current sense reference (VREF) | 1.5 V to 7.5 V - scales full-scale output current linearly (e.g., 5 V → 750 mA; 2 V → ~200 mA) |
| Thermal shutdown threshold | 170 °C - disables outputs to prevent permanent damage during overload or poor heatsinking |
| Off-time programmability | toff = 1.1 × RT × CT - enables tuning of chopper frequency and current ripple (e.g., 56 kΩ + 820 pF → 50 μs) |
| Saturation voltage (sink) | 1.15 V at 750 mA - determines conduction loss and heat dissipation per bridge leg |
Pinout & Package
SO24 surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad (pins 6, 7, 18, 19 serve as GND and thermal conduction paths); 24-pin wide-body SOIC footprint compliant with JEDEC MS-013AC.

| 8, 20 | I0_1 / I0_2 | Logic inputs selecting current level (0/3, 1/3, 2/3, or full scale) per bridge |
| 9, 17 | I1_1 / I1_2 | Complementary logic inputs completing 2-bit current level selection per bridge |
| 10, 16 | PHASE1 / PHASE2 | TTL-level direction controls determining current polarity per winding (A→B or B→A) |
| 11, 15 | VREF1 / VREF2 | Analog reference inputs setting full-scale current threshold for each bridge |
| 12, 14 | RC1 / RC2 | External RC network connection points defining PWM off-time per bridge |
| 13 | VSS | Dedicated 5 V logic supply input for internal digital circuitry |
| 24 | VS | High-voltage motor supply input (10–46 V) feeding both H-bridge power stages |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent H-bridge output stage | Enables simultaneous bidirectional control of two motor windings without external transistors or diodes |
| Programmable current regulation | Four discrete current levels per winding (0%, 33%, 67%, 100%) selected by I0/I1 logic and scaled by VREF |
| Integrated recirculation diodes | Eliminates need for eight external flyback diodes, reducing board area and BOM count |
| Cross-conduction protection | Hardware delay prevents shoot-through during phase reversal, enhancing reliability under dynamic switching |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bipolar stepper motor driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TB6600HG | Higher current rating (4.5 A), external MOSFET drivers, no integrated diodes | Requires external gate drivers, sense resistors, and flyback diodes; suited for high-power systems | Select when >1 A per phase is required and board space allows discrete power stage design |
| DRV8825 | Microstepping up to 1/32, integrated current DAC, lower voltage range (8.2–45 V) | No external RC timing; fixed internal PWM; lacks dual independent VREF inputs | Prefer for compact designs needing fine microstepping resolution and simplified layout |
Compared with TB6600HG and DRV8825, the E-L6219DSATR offers unique dual independent VREF and RC timing per bridge, enabling asymmetric current profiles and custom chopper frequencies-valuable for multi-motor systems with mismatched inductance or thermal constraints.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable motor supply voltage for E-L6219DSATR?
The absolute maximum motor supply voltage (VS) is 50 V, but the recommended operating range is 10 V to 46 V per the datasheet. Operation above 46 V risks exceeding safe operating area limits under load, especially at elevated temperatures. The 46 V upper limit ensures margin for transient spikes and maintains specified output saturation voltage and thermal performance.
Can E-L6219DSATR drive unipolar stepper motors?
No, E-L6219DSATR is designed exclusively for bipolar stepper motors with center-tapped or dual-winding configurations requiring full H-bridge current reversal. It lacks the internal transistor arrangement needed for unipolar 5-lead or 6-lead motor drive, and its Phase and I0/I1 logic assumes bidirectional winding current control-not unipolar phase sequencing.
How does the RC network affect motor performance?
The RC network connected to pins 12 and 14 sets the PWM off-time (toff = 1.1 × RT × CT), directly controlling chopper frequency and current ripple. Shorter toff increases switching frequency, reducing audible noise and improving current regulation at low speeds-but raises switching losses. Longer toff lowers frequency, easing EMI filtering but increasing ripple amplitude and potential step loss at high microstep resolutions.
Is external current-sense resistor placement critical?
Yes-external sense resistors (Rs) must connect directly between SENSE pins (3, 23) and GND with minimal trace length and no vias. The ground return path from Rs to pins 6/7/18/19 must be a dedicated low-inductance copper pour. Poor layout introduces noise into the comparator input (pins 4, 22), causing erratic current limiting, missed steps, or thermal runaway due to false PWM disabling.
