TB9M040FTG integrates an MCU (Arm^® Cortex^®‑M23 core), flash memory, a motor driver capable of directly driving three‑phase brushless DC motors, a high‑side driver that can be used for power supply purposes, a local interconnect network (LIN)^[4] transceiver, and a power supply system that can operate at the automotive battery level, all housed in a small VQFN36 package (6×6mm (typ.)). It also incorporates a Vector Engine (VE) integrating Toshiba’s proprietary hardware, which helps to reduce CPU loads in FOC‑controlled motor applications and contributes to smaller software programs.
