FAN8036L

Overview

The FAN8036L is a fully integrated motor driver manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor, now part of onsemi. It combines control logic and power stages for DC and servo motors within a single package. The device operates on a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 13.2V and delivers an output current of 1A per channel. It features two independent channels and utilizes Power MOSFET technology. The component is housed in a 48-BQFP package with four exposed pads (48-QFPH-1414) designed for surface mount installation. It supports an operating temperature range from -35°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Fully integrated design combining control and power stages
• Dual-channel architecture supporting DC and servo motors
• Built-in Power MOSFET output technology

Applications

• DC motor control systems
• Servo motor applications
• General purpose motor driving circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer status carefully as Fairchild Semiconductor operations have been acquired by onsemi. Confirm the specific revision level and RoHS compliance details directly with the supplier or official datasheet, as legacy documentation may reflect original Fairchild branding while current production follows onsemi standards. Ensure the 48-QFPH package variant matches your PCB footprint requirements exactly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, dual-channel solution is required for low-power DC or servo motor applications. The integrated nature reduces external component count compared to discrete driver designs. Verify that the 1A continuous output current meets the load requirements and that the 4.5V to 13.2V supply range aligns with the system power architecture. The QFP package requires appropriate thermal management considerations due to the exposed pad design.

Part Context

The FAN8036 belongs to a family of motor drivers designed for embedded motion control. It serves as a bridge between microcontroller logic signals and motor loads. The transition from Fairchild to onsemi manufacturing does not alter the functional specifications but may affect packaging markings and long-term availability status. It is categorized under PMIC and Motor Drivers in standard electronic component databases.
