Toshiba begins sample shipments of pre-driver IC for automotive brushless motors




KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 28 -- Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (Toshiba) has begun shipping test samples of ‘TB9083FTG’, a pre-driver IC for automotive applications that include brushless motors for electric power steering systems and electric brakes.

According to a statement, Toshiba will ship final samples in January next year, and will start mass production in December the same year.

TB9083FTG is a three-phase pre-driver that controls and drives external N-channel power MOSFETs for driving a three-phase brushless DC motor.

It supports ASIL-D functional safety and its compliance with ISO 26262 2nd edition allows use in for highly safety-critical automotive systems.

The new IC has a built-in three-channel pre-driver for the safety relays that control and drive the relays for motors and power supply, eliminating the need for external components and helps reduce the part count.

Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation, a leading supplier of advanced semiconductor and storage solutions, draws on over half a century of experience and innovation to offer customers and business partners outstanding discrete semiconductors, system LSIs and HDD products.
