Product details
Overview
L6219DSA13TR from STMicroelectronics is a bipolar stepper motor driver IC in SO24 package, featuring dual full-bridge output stage, 750 mA continuous current per winding, 10–46 V wide motor supply range, and internal PWM current control with thermal shutdown. It supports half-step, full-step, and microstepping modes and is used in precision motion control systems such as industrial CNC actuators and automated lab equipment.
For engineers reviewing the L6219DSA13TR datasheet, L6219DSA13TR pinout, L6219DSA13TR application, or L6219DSA13TR equivalent, key selection criteria include verified bipolar H-bridge operation, external sense-resistor-based current regulation, TTL-compatible logic inputs (I0/I1/Phase), and SO24 thermal performance under unstabilized motor supply conditions.
Technical Context
The L6219DSA13TR integrates two independent H-bridge output stages-each with four Darlington source transistors, four saturated sink transistors, and eight integrated clamp diodes-enabling bidirectional current control per winding. Its current regulation uses an external sense resistor (Rs) and programmable reference voltage (VREF) to set trip thresholds for three discrete current levels (0%, 33%, 67%, 100% of 750 mA).
Control logic includes Schmitt-triggered Phase inputs for direction, dual I0/I1 logic pairs per bridge selecting current level, and RC-timed monostable pulse generator (toff = 1.1·RT·CT) for PWM off-time. Thermal shutdown activates at 170 °C junction temperature, and cross-conduction protection prevents shoot-through during phase transitions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output current | 750 mA continuous per winding; enables driving NEMA 17–23 bipolar stepper motors without external current amplification |
| Supply voltage range | 10 V to 46 V motor supply (VS); supports direct connection to unregulated industrial DC rails |
| Logic supply | VSS = 4.75–5.25 V; compatible with standard 5 V microcontroller I/O without level shifting |
| Current sensing | Voltage threshold at Vsense = 10 V ±0.5 V; sets precise trip point via external Rs and VREF scaling |
| Thermal protection | Junction shutdown at 170 °C; prevents latch-up or permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking |
| Output saturation | VCE(sat) ≤ 1.15 V @ 750 mA sink; minimizes power dissipation in high-current motor phases |
| Timing control | Off-time (toff) adjustable from ~50 μs using RT/CT network; allows fine-tuning of current decay rate for torque/noise trade-off |
Pinout & Package

| 10, 16 | PHASE1 / PHASE2 | Direction control input; TTL/Schmitt-triggered; defines current flow direction (A→B or B→A) |
| 11, 15 | VREF1 / VREF2 | Reference voltage input; scales current limit threshold (e.g., 5 V → 750 mA full scale) |
| 12, 14 | RC1 / RC2 | RC timing node; sets PWM off-time (toff = 1.1·RT·CT) per bridge independently |
| 13 | VSS | Logic supply input; powers internal comparators, logic, and drivers' base bias circuitry |
| 24 | VS | Motor supply input; powers output H-bridges; withstands up to 50 V absolute max |

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 peak current (4.5 A), external MOSFET output stage, requires gate drivers and discrete current sensing | Suitable for larger NEMA 23/34 motors; lacks integrated diodes and thermal shutdown | Select when >1 A winding current or higher efficiency at 48 V is required; adds complexity and BOM count |
| DRV8825 | Microstepping up to 1/32, integrated current DAC, 2.2 A max, but limited to 45 V max and no internal diodes | Better microstep resolution and simpler layout for low-voltage (<24 V) desktop CNC; less robust for industrial 36–46 V rails | Prefer for compact 5–24 V systems needing fine positioning; avoid for high-voltage, high-reliability industrial use |
Compared with TB6600HG and DRV8825, the L6219DSA13TR offers balanced integration-built-in diodes, thermal protection, and 46 V operation-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, medium-power industrial motion control where board space and reliability outweigh ultra-fine microstepping needs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current per winding for the L6219DSA13TR?
The L6219DSA13TR delivers 750 mA continuous current per winding, verified per Table 2 (Absolute Maximum Ratings) and Table 5 (Electrical Characteristics) in ST's Doc ID 4970 Rev 4. Peak current reaches 1 A during startup transients, but sustained operation must remain within the 750 mA limit to prevent thermal shutdown activation.
Can the L6219DSA13TR drive unipolar stepper motors?
No-the L6219DSA13TR is designed exclusively for bipolar stepper motors with center-tapped windings omitted. Its dual full-bridge architecture requires four-wire bipolar connections (A1/A2/B1/B2); unipolar motors require five- or six-wire configurations incompatible with this IC's output topology and current-sensing method.
How is current level selected on the L6219DSA13TR?
Current level is selected per bridge using two logic inputs (I0 and I1): HH = zero current, LH = medium (2/3 × 750 mA), HL = low (1/3 × 750 mA), LL = full (750 mA). The actual current also depends on external sense resistor value (Rs) and applied VREF voltage, per Equation 1 in Section 2.3 of the datasheet.
Does the L6219DSA13TR require external flyback diodes?
No-eight integrated clamp diodes (four per H-bridge) provide current recirculation during PWM off-time. These diodes eliminate the need for external flyback components, reducing PCB area and assembly cost while ensuring consistent reverse recovery behavior across temperature and voltage ranges.
