OREANDA-NEWS. Toshiba Corporation announced the launch of "TB67H400A", a 2-channel motor driver IC for brush motors that supports high voltages and currents. Sample shipments starts today and mass production is scheduled to start in October this year.

The latest high voltage analog process used for "TB67H400A", realizes a 50V maximum rating and low on resistance of 0.5 (maximum, sum of the upper and lower side) during motor drive output, supporting maximum output current of 4.0A per channel for a 2-channel drive. Toshiba's original parallel channel control function (large mode) offers 8.0A maximum output current when 2-channel parallel outputs are used as a 1-channel driver.

The driver IC is available in a 4 package line-up that supports various customer requirements, such as equipment downsizing with a small package, and continuous operation at high current with a high-power dissipation package.
