OREANDA-NEWS. Toshiba Corporation announced the launch of "TB67S269FTG", a bipolar stepping motor driver offering a high voltage of 50V and current of 2.0A. Sample shipments start today, with mass production scheduled to start in October.

High speed, high ability motor drive is required for application in printers, office automation equipment, ATMs, banknote identification machines, amusement machines, and home appliances. On the other hand, the downsizing of the equipment is accelerated by customers' demands for space-saving equipment with excellent design. Measures to reduce heat generated inside equipment are also growing in importance.

Last year, Toshiba released a bipolar stepping motor driver, "TB67S109AFTG", with a maximum rating of 50V and 4.0V. This reduced heat and increased efficiency by increasing the switching speed and adopting motor driving technology (ADMD) developed by Toshiba.

"TB67S269FTG" is pin-compatible with "TB67S109AFTG". Its current rating is configured to 2.0A, which is widely used in amusement machines and home appliances. Expansion of the product line-up allows customers to select the current variation that best fits their needs.
