Infineon Technologies TLE986x 2-Phase Motor/Relay Driver ICs

These single-chip devices integrate the industry-standard ARM® Cortex®-M3 core to enable the implementation of advanced motor-control algorithms. The TLE986x devices also include four fully integrated NFET drivers optimized to drive a 2-phase motor via four external power NFETs. An integrated charge pump enables low-voltage operation. TLE986x’s programmable current, along with current-slope control, optimize EMC performance. The peripheral set includes a current sensor, a successive approximation ADC synchronized with the capture and compare unit for PWM control, and 16-bit timers. An integrated LIN transceiver allows communication to the device along with a number of general-purpose I/Os. It includes an on-chip linear voltage regulator to supply external loads.

Key Benefits

• Enable cost and board space improvements – Infineon's system-on-chip solution integrates data processing, actuation, and sensing. The chip comes in a leadless VQFN package with a 7mm x 7mm footprint and enables PCB space saving. 
  
  
• Enabling high levels of system reliability – Extensive diagnostics and protections are embedded within the system-on-chip, more than a discrete approach can offer. In addition, both the Embedded Power IC and the external MOFESTS can be protected.
  
  
• Support multiple and flexible designs with minimal effort – All TLE986x and TLE987x devices are pin and software compatible, maximizing a single design through scalability.
