LV8401V
Overview
The LV8401V is a 1-channel motor driver IC using D-MOS FET for output stage and operates in one of the four modes
under program control: forward, reverse, brake, and standby.
As the P/N-channel structure is used in the H-bridge output stage, the LV8401V features minimal number of external
component and low on-resistance (0.33 typical). This IC is optimal for driving motors that need large-current.
Functions
1-channel forward/reverse motor driver
Built-in constant current output circuit
Low power consumption
Built-in low voltage reset and thermal shutdown circuit
Low output ON resistance 0.33
Four mode function forward/reverse, brake, standby.
