Toshiba Latest Gate Driver IC Provides Minimised Functions For Diverse Automotive Applications





KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 1 (Bernama) -- Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (Toshiba) has started to provide engineering samples of a gate driver IC, "TB9084FTG”, for three-phase brushless DC motors that drive essential on-board functions, including automotive body system applications, electric pumps, and motor generators.

Many formerly mechanically controlled parts of road vehicles are now electrified, and vehicles incorporate a large number of electric motors, including those used in automotive body system applications.

In a statement, Toshiba said this transition has also advanced the replacement of brushed DC motors with quieter and longer-lasting brushless DC motors.

Designed to reinforce this shift, TB9084FTG offers the minimum required gate driver IC functions for automotive applications and supports a wide range of automotive motor applications in combination with external devices, such as MOSFETs, power supply ICs, microcontrollers, and communication physical.

Any change in customer system requirements can be supported by replacing corresponding external devices, significantly contributing to flexibility in system design.

Minimising functions allows utilisation of one of the industry’s smallest packages and contributes to equipment miniaturisation. The package also has a wettable flank structure, facilitating easy visual inspection to confirm the reliability of soldered joints.

Toshiba will continue to expand its lineup of gate driver ICs by assessing market needs and optimising product functions, in addition to introducing new products that extend the electrification and improve the safety of automotive equipment.
