Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (Toshiba) has started sample shipments of TB9058FNG, an automotive DC motor driver IC with a LIN (Local Interconnect Network) slave function that can communicate with a LIN 2.0 master IC for in-vehicle networks.

Key Points: 
  • Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (Toshiba) has started sample shipments of TB9058FNG, an automotive DC motor driver IC with a LIN (Local Interconnect Network) slave function that can communicate with a LIN 2.0 master IC for in-vehicle networks.

    The new IC receives the position data of the motor rotation target by an external LIN BUS, and drives the motor to the rotation target.
  • No software development is required, as the IC has the hardware logic of a H-bridge motor driver and LIN communication function with enhanced checksum[1].
  • The new IC has an operating temperature range of -40 to 125C, required for automotive applications, and will be AEC-Q100 qualified.
