LV8018W-MPB-E

Overview

The LV8018W-MPB-E is a four-channel brush motor driver manufactured by onsemi. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2V to 3.6V and supports forward and reverse control for multiple DC motors. The device utilizes a 48-terminal SQFP package, designed for compact integration in motion control applications. Key electrical characteristics include a wide operating voltage window suitable for low-voltage systems, enabling precise motor management in space-constrained electronic designs.

Feature Summary

• Four independent channel configuration for multi-motor control
• Supports bidirectional rotation via forward and reverse drive signals
• Operates with low supply voltage ranging from 2V to 3.6V

Applications

• Brushed DC motor control in portable electronics
• Motion control modules requiring compact form factors
• Battery-powered devices needing efficient low-voltage motor drivers

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact package marking and date code against the manufacturer's latest datasheet revision. Confirm that the 48-SQFP pinout matches your PCB footprint design. Ensure supply voltage constraints between 2V and 3.6V are strictly maintained during operation to prevent device damage or malfunction.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring simultaneous control of up to four brushed DC motors within a limited voltage envelope. The SQFP package offers a balance of thermal performance and board space efficiency compared to larger packages. Evaluate current handling capabilities against specific motor load requirements before finalizing the design.

Part Context

This part belongs to onsemi's motor driver portfolio, specifically targeting low-voltage, high-density applications. It complements other motion control solutions by providing integrated bridge drivers in a single compact package. The series is engineered for reliability in consumer and industrial automation sectors where size and power efficiency are critical design parameters.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-to-pin replacements within the same family. Verify compatibility of control logic levels and thermal dissipation requirements if substituting with similar quad-bridge drivers from other manufacturers.
