Figure 4 shows a typical application diagram for
DC motor driving. To assure the safety of the cir-
cuit in the reverse battery conditiona reverse pro-
tetion diode D
1
is necessary. The transient pro-
tection diode D
2
must assure that themaximum
supply voltage V
S
during the transients at the
V
BAT
line will be limited to a value lower than the
absolute maximu ratings for V
VSP
. The capacities

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
L9925 is a dual full bridge IC designed to drive
DC motors, stepper motors and other inductive
loads. Eah bridge has 4 power DMOS transistor
with R
DSon
= 0.75
and the relative protection
and control circuitry (see fig. 5). Tthe 4 half
bridges can be controlled independently by
means of the 4 inputs IN1, IN3, IN4 and 2 enable
inputs ENABLE1and ENABLE2.

CROSSCONDUCTION
The device guaranteesthe absenceof cross-con-
duction by watching internal gate-source voltage
of the drivingpower DMOS.
