DESCRIPTION
The L6243DS is a Bipolar IC developed for use in
Mass Storage Head Actuator positioning applica-
tions. The Power Op-Amp Output Bridge, Differ-
ential Amplifier, and Error Amplifier, are control-
led by TTL/CMOS, input compatible, Digital Logic,
and an Analog Current Control Voltage.
A simple RC compensation network, tied to the
output of the Error Amp, will configure the system

to work as a Transconductance Amplifier to drive
a Voice Coil Motor in Linear Mode.
Additional features include Power On Reset De-
lay, Enable and Park. A logic low at the Park input
activates the parking function. Holding the Enable
input low will disable the device by forcing the
outputs into a tristate mode. Power Fail Monitors
for the logic and power supplies initiate an auto-
matic parking sequence during a power failure. A
resistor programmed parking voltage enables a
constant velocity head retract.
