Toshiba TC78S122F Stepping Motor Drivers

Toshiba TC78S122F Dual-Stepping Motor Drivers feature a two-in-one chip that delivers a two-channel drive function, capable of running two stepping motors independently in a high-voltage, low-power MOS process. The TC78S122F also provides an interface for driving brushed DC motors. This enables the use of stepping motors and brushed DC motors together in six combinations. These include two 1.5A stepping motors, one 1.5A stepping motor with two 2.0A brushed DC motors, or four 2.0A brushed DC motors. The channels can also be paralleled to double the power handling.

With its built-in sleep function, this product can stop the regulator circuit for the IC internal logic at stand-by, allowing it to consume microamps of standby power. Toshiba TC78S122F Dual-Stepping Motor Drivers include thermal shutdown and overcurrent shutdown circuits.
