Low-Voltage, Full-Bridge Brushless DC Motor Driver with
Integrated Hall Sensor IC, PWM Speed Control, Soft-Switching,
and Reverse Battery and Short Circuit Protection
A1448
Description (continued)
portable electronic devices. This feature allows the removal of a
FET transistor for switching the device on and off.
industry with a 0.40 mm maximum thickness that allows for very
thin BLDC coin motor designs. The small package outline and
low profile make this device ideally suited for use in applications
where printed circuit board area and component headroom are at
a premium. It is available in a lead (Pb) free, 6-contact MLP/DFN
micro-leadframe package, with an exposed pad for enhanced
thermal dissipation. Leadframe is 100% matte tin plated.
The A1448 is optimized for vibration motor applications in cel-
lular phones, pagers, electronic toothbrushes, hand-held video
game controllers, and can also be used as a micro-fan driver for
fans motors up to 1 W.
The Allegro DFN (EW) package is the thinnest DFN in the
