The LB1846M and LB1848M are 2-channel low-voltage, low saturation voltage type bidirectional motor driver ICs that are optimal for use as 2-phase stepping motor drivers in printers, floppy disk drives, and cameras and other portable equipment. The output circuits are of the bipolar type, with pnp transistors in the upper side and npn transistors in the lower side, and they achieve low saturation output and low power characteristics despite being provided in a miniature package.
