Features and Benefits Description > Single-chip solution for high reliability Chopper stabilization technique for precise signal response over operating range 2.0 to 4.0 V operation Sleep mode pin allowing external logic signal enable/disable to reduce average power consumption Restart feature Small package size The A1441 is a full-bridge motor driver designed to drive low-voltage bipolar brushless dc motors. Commutation of the motor is achieved by use of a single Hall element sensor to detect the position of an alternating-pole ring magnet. A high density merged Bipolar-CMOS semiconductor process...
