Toshiba Introduces Motor Driver IC Realizing Zero Current[1] in Standby Mode

TOKYO - Friday, June 28th 2013 [ME NewsWire]
Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO: 6502) today announced it has launched a full-bridge DC motor driver IC, "TB67H301FTG", for use in consumer and industrial equipment, including printers, vending machines and amusement machines. Mass production starts today. The IC incorporates a standby function that realizes zero power supply current[1] in standby mode. It adopts a small, leadless WQFN24 package that reduces the mounting area to 1/3 that of equivalent products, contributing the downsizing of the equipment and the reduction of PCB cost.

Features

1. Built-in power saving function Newly integrated shutdown circuit cuts current to zero[1] in standby mode.

2. Small package The WQFN24 package has good thermal conductivity and realizes the same absolute maximum ratings[2] for voltage and current value as equivalent products. The small and leadless package reduces the mounting area.

3. Built-in abnormality detection function TB67H301FTG incorporates an overcurrent shutdown circuit, undervoltage lockout circuit and thermal shutdown circuit.
