Dialog Semiconductor plc, a provider of battery management, AC/DC power conversion, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth low energy and industrial integrated circuits (ICs), has launched the SLG47105, its first motor drive configurable mixed-signal IC that delivers the benefits of both configurable logic and configurable analog with high-voltage outputs, all encapsulated within a tiny 2 mm x 3 mm quad-flat no-leads package.
The SLG47105 joins Dialog’s GreenPAK product family and provides a more cost-effective, one-time NVM programmable option for designers looking to integrate both digital and analog system functions while minimizing component count, board space and power consumption for consumer and industrial motor

The new device is capable of driving two brushed DC motors, a single stepper motor, solenoid or any other load requiring up to 1.5 A RMS current per output, and an operating voltage up to 13.2 V. Beyond standard protection features such as over temperature, undervoltage and over current protection, the SLG47105 also includes configurable digital and analog resources, allowing the user to create a customized protection and motor control scheme with current or voltage regulation, stall detection or soft motor start to enable higher system reliability and more efficient battery usage.
The SLG47105 includes low power consumption functions including internal voltage references, power-on reset, an oscillator and more advanced digital resources, like pulse width modulators. The current consumption in standby mode for the entire chip is as low as 70 nA, which guarantees a longer battery life and helps to reduce the overall solution price, bill of materials, PCB size and can achieve a lower overall system current consumption versus more discrete solutions used in the industry today.
