Toshiba Electronics has announced a three-phase brushless motor control pre-driver IC with Intelligent Phase Control technology that enables optimum operating efficiency in a wide variety of applications including high velocity server fans, blowers and pumps. In recent years, advances in server capacity and performance require physically larger and higher velocity fans for cooling any excess heat generated by the equipment.

Toshiba Electronics Europe has released two new three-phase brushless motor controller ICs based upon InPAC, Toshiba’s original automatic phase adjustment function. This eliminates the need for phase adjustment and achieves high levels of efficiency at a wide range of motor rotation speeds.

An addition to Toshiba Electronics Europe’s (Toshiba) line-up of dual H-bridge driver ICs for DC brushed motors and stepping motors has been launched. The new TC78H653FTG delivers the low voltage (1.8V) and high current (4.0A) essential for motor-based equipment powered by dry-cell batteries such as mobile devices, electronic products for the home and USB drives. 

The launch of an integrated dual H-bridge DC brushed motor driver IC that includes an output current limit function rated at 50V/3.0A, has been announced by Toshiba Electronics Europe (Toshiba). The new TB67H401FTG device is suited to applications where monitoring and feedback of the motor state is necessary.

  Toshiba Electronics has broadened its line-up of small surface-mount brushed motor drivers with the addition of the new TB67H420FTG that supports higher voltage applications such as domestic robotic vacuum cleaners, banking terminals, cash dispenser and other domestic equipment.

Two new three-phase brushless motor drivers have been launched by Toshiba Electronics Europe. TC78B015FTG is for 12V power supply applications and TC78B015AFTG supports applications using 24V. The new ICs support high-speed rotation of small fan motors and are suited to home appliance and industrial equipment applications. Cooling fans, such as those found in servers, combine minimum size with a high rotation speed thereby ensuring maximum cooling capability.

  Toshiba Electronics Europe has expanded its line-up of MOSFETs based on its latest generation U-MOS-IX-H trench semiconductor process with a new, ultra compact 40V device featuring an integrated Soft Recovery Diode (SRD).

A new stepping motor driver has been announced by Toshiba Electronics Europe, with an architecture that lowers noise and vibration during motor operation. The TB67S209FTG supports high-speed, high-performance motor control in office automation, banking terminals and home appliance applications.

Working in a partnership together, TM Robotics and Toshiba Machine have announced the newest in Toshiba Machine’s BA Cartesian series, the BAIII. Unlike most Cartesian suppliers, the Toshiba Machine solution is a true plug-and-play as all cables, junction boxes, brackets, motors, and controllers are supplied with the Actuators.

Toshiba Electronics Europe has expanded its line up of High Voltage Intelligent Power Devices (HV-IPD) with the addition of a motor driver IC in a compact surface mount package that is rated to 600V. The TPD4152F enables a square-wave speed control of small BLDC electric motors. It is aimed at applications including air conditioners, air purifiers, fans, ventilators and water heaters.
