KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 22 -- Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (Toshiba) has launched an H-bridge motor driver, ‘TC78H660FNG’ housed in a TSSOP16 package with a widely used pin-assignment.

It is Toshiba’s latest addition to its line-up of drivers for brushed DC motors and stepping motors for applications that include mobile devices and home appliances.

Toshiba’s new-generation DMOS process allows TC78H660FNG to achieve a low ON resistance of 0.48Ω at its maximum rating of 18V/2.0A, and reduces heat generation compared with Toshiba’s current products.

The new driver has a regulator for driving internal circuits, and can drive a motor with a single power supply ranging from 2.5V to 16V.

Its wide range of applications include mobile devices powered by a 3.7V lithium-ion battery, 5V USB powered devices, and 12V system devices for home appliances. It also supports a low 1.8V interface.

According to Toshiba in a statement, TC78H660FNG can be used in battery-powered mobile devices, including robots and toys; home appliances including refrigerators; and, smart metres.
