TOKYO - Friday, June 28th 2013 [ME NewsWire]

Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO: 6502) today announced it has launched a full-bridge DC motor driver IC, "TB67H301FTG", for use in consumer and industrial equipment, including printers, vending machines and amusement machines. Mass production starts today. The IC incorporates a standby function that realizes zero power supply current[1] in standby mode. It adopts a small, leadless WQFN24 package that reduces the mounting area to 1/3 that of equivalent products, contributing the downsizing of the equipment and the reduction of PCB cost.

Features

1. Built-in power saving function Newly integrated shutdown circuit cuts current to zero[1] in standby mode.

2. Small package The WQFN24 package has good thermal conductivity and realizes the same absolute maximum ratings[2] for voltage and current value as equivalent products. The small and leadless package reduces the mounting area.

3. Built-in abnormality detection fun ... Read more »

Reduces sound cuts and noise of car audio at engine idle reduction

TOKYO - Thursday, June 27th 2013 [ME NewsWire]

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO:6502) today announced that it has launched a 4 channel power amplifier IC, "TB2941HQ", that improves noise tolerance in audio systems in cars with engine idling reduction systems. Samples are available now with mass production scheduled to start in July 2013. Engines of cars with idling reduction systems often cut out, causing battery voltage to drop. By reducing the minimum operation voltage from 8V to 6V, the new power amplifier realizes stable operation and makes it possible to prevent the loss of sound and noise in car audio. This IC improves noise tolerance with a newly developed filter circuit, and minimizes the influence of cellular phone waves on the sound. Reinforced protection circuits realize high reliability.
