Toshiba Launches SmartMCD™ Series Gate Driver ICs with Embedded Microcontroller
Debut product delivers sensorless control of three-phase brushless DC motors
A reference design using TB9M003FG, “Motor Driving Circuit for Automotive Body Electronics Using SmartMCD™,” is now available on Toshiba’s website.
The expanding market for electric vehicles (xEV) requires electrification, component integration, downsized electronic control unit (ECUs), and quieter motors. In response, the new product contributes to downsizing of ECUs by integrating a microcontroller into the gate driver, and to quieter motors by using vector control.
Note:
[1] Gate driver: A driver to drive MOSFETs
