The LB1848MC is a 2-channel low-voltage, low saturation voltage type bidirectional motor driver IC that is suitable for use in printers, cameras, and other portable equipment.
It can directly control a motor from signals from a microcontroller and is optimal for 2-phase excitation drive for 2-phase stepping motors.
The IC includes built-in thermal shutdown circuits to prevent scorching or burning, and also has a "soft off" function to reduce power supply line noise when switching from drive to standby modes.
The product has specific electrical characteristics and operating ranges, and caution must be taken when using the "soft off" function with an external capacitor.
