TOKYO - Friday, August 8th 2014

Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO:6502) today announced the launch of TB67S158, a dual unipolar motor driver IC for stepping motors. Sample shipments start today, with mass production scheduled to start in October.

The number of motors and driver ICs required in products including amusement machines, home appliances and industrial equipment, is growing. On top of this, manufacturers are being asked to downsize equipment to save space and cut energy consumption. As a result, driver ICs are increasingly expected to play multiple roles in driving motors.

Toshiba’s current driver IC “TB67S149” can control only one unipolar motor, but the new “TB67S158” can support dual motor control by incorporating an 8ch-MOSFET. For example, by setting the output to the constant voltage contro ... Read more »
