Hi @Wyoun.1​,

the circuit at page 35 of application notes AN1451 is related to a package option no more available.

Are you using the L6208PD (PowerSO36) or L6208D (SO-24) option?

Could you share your schematic with components value for a fast review?

Moreover, please give more details on the driving option: step mode (HALF/FULL pin status), decay mode (CONTROL pin status), voltage reference value.

I am using L6208D (SO-24)

Hi @Wyoun.1​ ,

ok for L6208D.

What about the others questions?

• Schematic with components value
• Details of driving: : step mode (HALF/FULL pin status), decay mode (CONTROL pin status), voltage reference value

Please provide more application details.
