KAWASAKI, Japan, August 25, 2022--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") has expanded its lineup of stepping motor driver ICs with the launch of "TB67S549FTG," a stepping motor driver IC housed in a small package, with built-in constant-current control that does not require external circuit components. The new driver contributes to saving space on circuit boards and is suited for industrial equipment such as office automation and financial equipment. Shipments start today.

TB67S549FTG uses Toshiba’s DMOS FET[1] for its output power transistor, and features a motor output voltage rating of 40V and a motor output current rating of 1.5A[2]. Use of the QFN24 package reduces the mounting area to about 64% of the QFN32 package used for Toshiba’s current product, TB67S539FTG. This helps save space on circuit boards.

In addition, the new driver incorporates a current detection part for constant-current motor control, and requires no external capacitor for a charge pump circuit. This will reduce external circuit components, thereby saving space on circuit boards.

TB67S549FTG supports motor power supply voltages from 4.5V to 33V, and has a current consumption of up to 1μA in sleep mode, making it widely usable for 12V/24V power supply applications.

Toshiba will continue to develop products for a wide range of applications, and to provide total solutions that contribute to user design simplification, board area reduction, and total cost reduction.

Notes: [1] Double-Diffused MOSFET [2] The actual current that can drive motors is limited by ambient temperature, power supply voltage and other operating conditions.

Small QFN24 package: 4.0mm × 4.0mm (typ.)

External current detection resistor is not required for constant current motor control.

Requiring no external capacitor for charge pump circuit.

If just two themes have defined the stock market in 2022, those themes would be stock splits and the bear market. Both have disproportionately affected the technology sector, with some of the largest tech companies in the U.S. opting for stock splits to reduce their high share prices, and the Nasdaq-100 tech index bearing the brunt of the broader market losses. Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW), Shopify (NYSE: SHOP), and Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) have all conducted stock splits this year, and each stock has touched its 52-week low within the last four months.

Recent developments suggest business trends are getting worse---not better, meaning there could be more downside ahead.

NEW YORK (Reuters) -Goldman Sachs Group Inc won the dismissal of a proposed class action by tens of thousands of employees over its alleged imprudent use of high-cost, underperforming in-house mutual funds as investment options in their retirement plan. U.S. District Judge Edgardo Ramos in Manhattan found no proof that Goldman's 401(k) retirement committee's decision to use five funds managed by Goldman Sachs Asset Management created a conflict of interest because the affiliate received management fees. He also found no duty for Goldman to have more quickly removed poorly performing funds from the plan, which had about three dozen investment options, and called it speculative to suggest the committee would have "acted differently" if it had more formal criteria to assess fund performance.
