Toshiba launches cost-effective gate driver IC for three-phase BLDC motors

Toshiba is sampling a gate driver IC tailored for three-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motors for functions like power sliding doors, power back doors (power tailgates), and power seats, as well as electric pumps, fans, and motor generators.

The TB9084FTG integrates essential functions for three-phase brushless motor drive, including a built-in charge pump circuit, a one-channel motor current sense amplifier, an oscillation circuit, an SPI communication circuit, and various sophisticated abnormality detection circuits.

The gate driver IC plays a crucial role in equipment miniaturisation. Its streamlined core functions enable the use of a compact 6 x 6mm VQFN36 package with a reduced pin count compared to TB9083FTG. This smaller package was made possible by a reduced chip size, achieved through an optimised circuit architecture.


The TB9084FTG also boasts exceptional robustness and quality, adhering to the rigorous AEC-Q100 Grade 0 reliability testing standards, with an operating ambient temperature range spanning from -40°C to +150°C.


Enhancing mounting reliability, the package incorporates a wettable flank structure, which simplifies visual inspection to confirm the integrity of soldered joints.
