LV8169MUTBG

Overview

The LV8169MUTBG is a dual H-bridge motor driver IC manufactured by onsemi, designed for precise control of two DC motors or one stepper motor. It integrates high-side and low-side N-channel MOSFETs to handle significant load currents while minimizing external component requirements. The device supports PWM speed control and direction logic via simple digital inputs. Key electrical characteristics include a wide operating voltage range and built-in protection mechanisms such as thermal shutdown and over-current limiting. It is housed in a compact TSSOP-B24 package suitable for space-constrained consumer electronics applications.

Feature Summary

• Integrated dual H-bridge architecture with internal power MOSFETs
• Supports independent PWM speed control and direction logic
• Built-in thermal shutdown and over-current protection circuits
• Low standby current consumption for battery-powered devices

Applications

• Two-DC motor control in home appliances
• Stepper motor driving for printer mechanisms
• Robotics actuator control systems
• Automotive window and seat adjustment modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'MUTBG' against the official datasheet to confirm tape-and-reel packaging and RoHS compliance status. Ensure the ordering code matches the exact temperature grade and package variant required for your assembly process. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest documentation to confirm availability and any recent design changes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-motor control is required within a single IC footprint. It is suitable for applications needing moderate current handling without external drivers. Consider the thermal performance of the TSSOP-B24 package relative to your expected duty cycle and ambient temperature conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to onsemi's LV81xx series of motor drivers, which are widely used in consumer electronics for reliable motor actuation. The series is known for integrating protection features typically found in discrete solutions, simplifying PCB layout and reducing bill-of-materials complexity for OEMs designing compact electronic devices.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible alternatives from onsemi or other manufacturers offering similar dual H-bridge configurations. Verify that substitute parts match the voltage ratings, current capabilities, and control logic interfaces before integration.
