DC Motor Driver comes in 2.0 x 2.0 mm package.

With input voltage range of 3.0-5.5 V, bi-directional Model A3903 produces output currents up to 500 mA. Output full-bridge incorporates source side linear operation to allow constant voltage supply across motor coil. Logic input pins are provided to control motor direction of rotation, brake, and standby modes and to allow optional PWM of sink drivers. Housed in 8-lead DFN package, Pb-free...

Dual Full-Bridge MOSFET Driver is digitally programmable.

Model A3985 powers bipolar 2-phase stepper motors and 2-phase brush/brushless dc motors through external N-channel power MOSFETs at supply voltages ranging from 12-50 V. Driver ensures gate-source voltage of high-side and low-side external MOSFETs are above 10 V. Two serially accessible registers provide digital control, while internal circuit protection provides thermal shutdown with hysteresis...

LED Driver controls LED luminance with PWM control.

Offering wide range of output currents, Model A6280 3-bit constant current LED driver minimizes components needed to drive LEDs with large pixel spacing. Several drivers can be chained together and controlled by 4 control signals (clock, serial data, latch, and output enable), and each input has buffered outputs on chip. VIN pin can be tied to voltage supply bus to eliminate need for separate...

Controls & Controllers

Step Down Regulators suit general purpose applications.

Including integrated power DMOS switch, Models A8698 and A8697 are targeted at applications requiring 8-25 V input voltage rating and 3 A (A8698) or 4 A (A8697) output current. Regulation voltage is set by external resistors to output voltages as low as 0.8 V. They feature internal compensation and logic level enable pin which can shut down device and put it into low quiescent current mode for...
