Toshiba: Toshiba Electronic Devices and Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") has commenced the distribution of engineering samples of the 'TB9104FTG,' a gate driver designed for bridge circuits in high-current automotive brushed DC motors. This new development is aimed at enhancing body system applications, which include power back doors, power sliding doors, and power seats.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the trend toward electrification of movable components in vehicles is on the rise, leading to an increase in the number of motors installed, especially for body system applications. This shift necessitates a greater number of drivers for motor operation and is driving demand for more compact systems. Additionally, there is a push to reduce wire harnesses to meet the requirements for lighter vehicles.
