A new gate driver integrated circuit (IC) called the “TB9084FTG” has been introduced by Toshiba in Japan. It was created especially for three-phase brushless DC motors used in automotive applications. Electric pumps, motor generators, and body systems are among the vital vehicle systems that the IC is intended to power. This product is intended for engineers, motor system designers, and automakers looking for effective, adaptable solutions for car electrification.
Since many mechanical parts of contemporary cars are now electrified, brushless DC motors—which are quieter, more resilient, and use less energy than conventional brushed motors—have become increasingly popular. By providing the required functionality for these motors and guaranteeing compatibility with a range of automotive systems, the new IC is designed to ease this transition.
Support for external components such as MOSFETs, power supply ICs, microcontrollers, and communication PHY is one of this IC’s key advantages, which enables system design freedom. “Any change in customer system requirements can be supported by replacing corresponding external devices,” the business explains.
The IC can be used in a wide variety of automotive applications, especially in electric pumps, motor generators, and body system applications, which improves the overall electrification of automobiles. This solution will help engineers and automotive system developers create small, effective, and scalable motor systems for a range of hybrid and electric vehicle applications.
In order to satisfy changing market demands and enhance vehicle safety, the company’s strategic aim is to keep growing its line of gate driver integrated circuits. Innovations like the TB9084FTG IC are essential to boosting efficiency, flexibility, and dependability in next-generation automobiles as the automotive industry pushes for increased electrification.
