DESCRIPTION
The L6238S is a Three-Phase, D.C. Brushless
Spindle Motor Driver system. This device features
both the Power and Sequence Sections.
Higher Power Applications can be activied with
the addition of an external Linear Driver, or by op-
erating the Internal Drivers in PWM.
Motor Start-Up, without the use of Hall Sensors,
can be achieved either by an internal start-up al-
gorithm or by manually sequencing the Output
Drivers, using a variety of User-Defined Start-UP
Algorithms.
