Toshiba integrates MCU, MOSFETs, and LIN into compact BLDC driver
Toshiba has started sampling the TB9M040FTG SmartMCD device for automotive BLDC motors below 40 W. It combines a Cortex-M23 MCU, integrated MOSFETs, LIN transceiver, 5 V supply, and three-phase motor driver into a 6 mm × 6 mm package, with hardware acceleration for FOC and support for sensorless control. Feels aimed directly at the growing number of small automotive actuator systems where PCB area, routing, and external component count are becoming harder to manage than the motor itself.
