Toshiba has launched “TB67S112PG,” a dual-channel solenoid driver IC that achieves high-voltage and low ON resistance drive. Mass production starts today.
TB67S112PG incorporates two channels, each consisting of a low-side MOSFET and a regenerative common diode that can independently drive a solenoid or a relay, devices that are widely used in applications such as amusement equipment (slot machines), home appliances (air-conditioners and refrigerators), and industrial equipment (banking terminals such as ATMs, office automation equipment, and factory automation equipment).
Toshiba already markets "TB67S111PG," a four-channel solenoid driver IC, and the eight channel "TB67S158NG/FTG." The addition of the “TB67S112PG” offers users wider product- sourcing possibilities, based on the number of solenoids to be controlled.
