The STDRIVE102P and STDRIVE102BP are STMicroelectronics’ latest additions to its STDRIVE102 series of gate-driver IC series for three-phase brushless motors. Able to operate from supply voltages from 6 to 50 V, they help ensure high energy efficiency in battery-operated equipment such as power tools and domestic appliances. Integrated 12- and 3.3-V linear regulators (LDOs) power the internal low-side drivers and embedded analog front end (AFE). The STDRIVE102P is housed in a 5- × 5-mm, 40-pin VFQFPN, priced from $1.23. The STDRIVE102BP comes in a 6- × 6-mm, 48-pin VFQFPN, priced from $1.29.
