The L6235 integrates a Three-Phase Bridge, which
consists of 6 Power MOSFETs connected as shown
on the Block Diagram. Each Power MOS has an

fast freewheeling diode. Switching patterns are gen-
erated by the PWM Current Controller and the Hall
Effect Sensor Decoding Logic (see relative para-
graphs). Cross conduction protection is implemented
Pin EN (enable) may be used to implement Overcurrent
and Thermal protection by connecting it to the open col-
lector DIAG output If the protection and an external dis-
able function are both desired, the appropriate
connection must be implemented. When the external
signal is from an open collector output, the circuit in Fig-
ure 5 can be used . For external circuits that are push
pull outputs the circuit in Figure 6 could be used. The re-
