KAWASAKI, Japan, Jan 29 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) — Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (“Toshiba”) has started providing engineering samples of “TB9104FTG,” a gate driver[1] for bridge circuits used in high-current automotive brushed DC motors, suitable for body system applications such as power back doors, power sliding doors, and power seats.
The accelerating electrification of movable components in vehicles has increased the number of motors installed in vehicles, particularly motors for body system applications. This trend has also increased the number of drivers required for motor operation, and is creating demand for more compact systems. Wire harnesses must be reduced to meet requirements for lighter vehicles.
