Application note
EVAL2293Q demonstration board
Introduction
This application note describes the EVAL2293Q demonstration board for the L2293Q push-
pull four channel driver with integrated diodes. The L2293Q is designed to drive inductive
loads such as DC and stepping motors, or relays and solenoids. The board implements a
typical application which can be used as a reference design to drive two-phase bipolar
stepper motors with currents up to 0.6 A DC, multiple DC motors and a wide range of
inductive loads.
Housed in a QFN 5 x 5 mm 32-lead package, the small footprint of the L2293Q makes the
PCB very compact (24.5 x 24.5 mm).

EVAL2293Q demonstration board pin location
The logic and power voltage supply pins are connected through jumper JP1 (normally
closed). If VS and VSS need to be supplied with different voltage values, JP1 should be
opened and the supply to each should be provided separately through external terminals.
The INx input pins drive the corresponding half-bridge. When a low logic level is applied, the
low side power switch is turned on, whereas a high logic level turns on the high side switch.
Pins EN1 and EN2 are used to disable the bridges and put the output pins in a high
impedance status. The output stages integrate freewheeling diodes.
