DESCRIPTION
The L295 is a monolithic integrated circuit in a 15 lead Multiwatt® package; it incorporates all the
functions for direct interfacing between digital circuitry and inductive loads.
The L295 is designed to accept standard microprocessor logic levels at the inputs and can drive
2 solenoids. The output current is completely controlled by means of a switch-ing technique allowing very efficient operation.
Furthermore, it includes an enable input and dual supplies (for interfacing with peripherals running at
a higher voltage than the logic).The L295 is particularly suitable for applications
such as hammer driving in matrix printers, stepmotor driving and electromagnet controllers
