Features
2 x 1.1 A full bridge outputs
Integrated chopping current regulation
Minimized power dissipation during flyback
Output stages with controlled output voltage
slopes to reduce electromagnetic radiation
Short-circuit protection of all outputs
Error-flag for over load, open load and over

Description
The L9935 is a two-phase stepper motor driver
circuit suited to drive bipolar stepper motors.
The device can be controlled by a serial interface
(SPI). All protections required to design a well
protected system (short-circuit, over temperature,
cross conduction etc.) are integrated.
