KAWASAKI, Japan, Nov 1 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) — Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (“Toshiba”) has today started to provide engineering samples of a gate driver[1] IC, “TB9084FTG,” for three-phase brushless DC motors that drive essential on-board functions, including automotive body system applications[2], electric pumps, and motor generators[3].
Many formerly mechanically controlled parts of road vehicles are now electrified, and vehicles incorporate a large number of electric motors, including those used in automotive body system applications. This transition has also advanced the replacement of brushed DC motors with quieter and longer-lasting brushless DC motors.
