Product details
Overview
TB9081FG from Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation is an automotive-grade 3-phase brushless motor pre-driver IC with integrated fail-safe relay pre-drivers, charge pump, current detection amplifiers, oscillator, and SPI-configurable abnormal detection circuits. It delivers PWM-controlled gate drive up to 20 kHz, supports VB = 4.5–28 V and VCC = 3.0–5.5 V, operates from −40 °C to +125 °C, and is AEC-Q100 qualified for electric power steering (EPS) and HVAC blower systems.
For engineers reviewing the TB9081FG datasheet, TB9081FG pinout, TB9081FG application, or TB9081FG equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, confirmed LQFP-64 pin mapping, SPI-configurable fault response logic, ABIST/LBIST diagnostic coverage, and ASIL-D safety architecture per ISO 26262 - all essential for EPS system design, motor control validation, and functional safety certification.
Technical Context
The TB9081FG integrates 11-channel pre-driver logic: six channels (HUO/HVO/HWO/LUO/LVO/LWO) for 3-phase high-side/low-side MOSFET gate control and five channels (BR1O/BR2O/RUO/RVO/RWO) for power/motor relay driving. Its dual charge pump (VCPH for high-side/relay, VCPL for low-side) enables direct N-ch FET drive without external bootstrap components.
Abnormal detection includes independent under-voltage (VB1/VB2, VCC1/VCC2), over-voltage (VCC1/VCC2), over-temperature (TSD1/TSD2/TSD3), and phase-specific FET short-circuit monitoring (SHUHO/SHVHO/SHWHO/SHULO/SHVLO/SHWLO), all configurable via SPI register writes with selectable response modes (OFF, OFF-hold, continued operation).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar automotive pre-driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DRV3205-Q1 | Single 3-phase pre-driver without relay drivers or integrated charge pump; requires external bootstrap circuitry | Lacks fail-safe relay pre-drivers and ABIST/LBIST - not ASIL-D capable; suitable only for non-safety-critical fans | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs safety requirements and external bootstrap design is acceptable |
| BD9MXXMUF-C | Includes integrated 3-phase gate drivers but no current-sense amplifiers or SPI-configurable fault logic | No programmable abnormal detection or diagnostic reporting - limited to basic UV/OV monitoring without response customization | Choose for simplified motor control where current sensing and fault logging are handled externally |
Compared with DRV3205-Q1 and BD9MXXMUF-C, the TB9081FG uniquely combines ASIL-D safety architecture, integrated relay pre-drivers, and SPI-configurable multi-level fault responses - making it the only option qualified for EPS and EBB systems requiring full ISO 26262 compliance.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the TB9081FG in automotive motor control systems?
The TB9081FG serves as a safety-certified 3-phase brushless DC motor pre-driver IC with integrated relay drivers, charge pump, current sensing, and configurable abnormal detection. It directly controls external N-channel MOSFETs for motor commutation and battery isolation relays, while providing ABIST/LBIST diagnostics and ASIL-D compliance per ISO 26262 - making TB9081FG essential for EPS, EBB, and HVAC blower applications.
How does the TB9081FG handle under-voltage conditions on the VB supply rails?
The TB9081FG monitors VB1 and VB2 independently using dual comparators and filters. When either rail drops below vthbll (typ. 4.5 V), the vbl1/vbl2 signals assert after filter delay Tbl, turning off pre-driver outputs while keeping oscillator and charge pump active. Recovery occurs when VB exceeds vthblh (typ. 5.0 V), and NDIAG state is restored via SPI register clearing - ensuring TB9081FG maintains safe shutdown until validated re-entry.
Can the TB9081FG support both 1-shunt and 3-shunt current sensing topologies?
Yes, the TB9081FG integrates three differential current-sense amplifiers (AMP1/AMP2/AMP3) and one reference voltage buffer (VRO/VRI), enabling flexible implementation of either 1-shunt (shared amplifier across phases) or 3-shunt (dedicated amplifier per phase) configurations. All amplifiers are powered by VCC_OP and feature rail-to-rail output swing - allowing TB9081FG to deliver accurate motor current feedback across varying load and temperature conditions.
What safety mechanisms are implemented in the TB9081FG to meet ASIL-D requirements?
The TB9081FG implements functional redundancy (dual bandgap references BG1/BG2), hardware self-tests (ABIST for analog blocks, LBIST for digital logic), error-isolated fault signaling (NDIAG), SPI-accessible diagnostic registers, and configurable fault response modes (e.g., OFF-hold). These features - documented in Toshiba's Safety Manual and FMEDA report - collectively enable TB9081FG to achieve TM-SIL™ ASIL-D compliance for safety-critical automotive functions.
Is the TB9081FG pin-compatible with other Toshiba pre-driver ICs such as the TB9051FTG?
No, the TB9081FG is not pin-compatible with TB9051FTG. TB9081FG uses LQFP-64 with dedicated relay driver inputs (BR1I/BR2I), dual VB/VCC supplies, and expanded current-sense I/O (AMP1P/N/O through AMP3P/N/O), whereas TB9051FTG is QFN-48 with single VB/VCC and no relay drivers. Pinout differences, package size, and functional scope prevent direct replacement - system redesign is required when migrating to TB9081FG.
