8958 - VOICE COIL MOTOR DRIVER

Key Features

  • include a power ok flag, a limit input to force the outputs to their maximum level in either polarity, an over-riding output disable to shut down both power amplifiers and reduce quiescent supply current, and internal thermal shutdown which disables the load (but still allowing the head to be parked) in the event of excessive junction temperatures. The load is re-enabled when the junction temperature returns to a safe level. The A8958CLB is supplied in a 24-lead power SOIC for surfacemount appli.

This linear current control function is supplemented by additional circuitry to protect the heads and the data disk during system failure or normal system shutdown.
