Toshiba Reports Motor Pre-Driver IC [Manufacturing Close - Up](Manufacturing Close - Up Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Toshiba America Electronic Components reported the TB9052FNG motor pre-driver IC. "As electrical systems within vehicles become increasingly sophisticated, there is a concurrent need for components that support and enable the most advanced safety features," said Deepak Mithani, senior director, Mixed Signal Business Unit at TAEC, in a release. "Toshiba is committed to helping the automotive industry implement new safety measures by continuing to develop motor drivers that support these requirements." In addition to the main pre-driver circuit, TB9052FNG features a built-in motor current detection circuit in a redundant configuration. The TB9052FNG pre-driver IC has four channels, two high-side and two low-side, and includes a charge pump to solely drive N-channel MOSFETs. It is contained in a HTSSOP48-P-300-0.50 package measuring 12.5 x 6.1 x 1.2mm. Operating voltage range is +6 to 18V and operating temperature range is from -40 to +125 degrees C. Sample shipments will start in August, with mass production scheduled to begin in March 2015. Toshiba will also be supplying associated safety analysis documentation.
