A3918SESTR-T

Description
Designed for pulse width modulated (PWM) control of a low
voltage DC motor, the A3918 is capable of output currents up
to 1.5 A and operating voltages from 2.5 to 9 V.
The A3918 has an internal fixed off-time PWM timer that
sets a peak current based on the selection of a current sense
resistor. An overcurrent output flag is provided that notifies
the user when the current in the motor winding reaches the
peak current determined by the sense resistor. The fault output
does not affect driver operation.
The A3918 is provided in a 16-contact, 3 mm × 3 mm, 0.75 mm
nominal overall height QFN, with exposed pad for enhanced
thermal dissipation. It is lead (Pb) free, with 100% matte tin
leadframe plating.
Applications include the following:
Digital still cameras (DSC)
Cell phone cameras
USB powered devices
Battery powered devices
