Description
L7207 is a motor controller IC designed for both desktop and dobile hard disk drive applications. The spindle motor driver subsystem integrates all power FETs driven by ST's SmoothDrive commutation technology. The voice coil driver block includes the power FETs, as well as ramp load and unload capability. Linear voltage and switching regulators are included, as well as a negative regulator and power monitoring function. L7207 embeds a serial interface with a maximum speed of 40 MHz.

Other functions

2 linear regulators. Programmable switching regulator Negative switching regulator Internal isolation FET Voltage monitoring Power On Reset with integrated delay Shock sensor circuitry 8-bit ADC with multiplexed inputs Thermal sense circuit and over temperature shutdown
