DESCRIPTION

The L6268 integrates into a single chip both spin-

dle and VCM controllers as well as power stages.

The device is designed for 12V disk drive applica-

tion requiring up to 2.0A of spindle and 1.5A of

VCM peak currents.

A serial port with up to 25 MHz capability provides

easy interface to the microprocessor. A register

controlled Frequency Locked Loop (FLL) allows

flexibility in setting the spindle speed. Integrated

BEMF processing, digital masking, digital delay,

and sequencing minimize the number of external

components required.

Power On Reset (POR) circuitry is included. Upon

detection of a low voltage condition, POR is as-

serted, the internal registers are reset, and spin-

dle power circuitry is tri-stated. The BEMF is recti-

fied providing power for actuator retraction

followed by dynamic spindle braking.

The device is built in BICMOS technology allow-

ing dense digital/analog circuitry to be combined

with a high power DMOS output stage.

This is preliminary information on a new product now in development. Details are subject to change without notice.
