Electric Toothbrush Controller Reference Design

TIDA-00602

Design files

Overview

This reference design uses our low-voltage H-Bridge motor driver with an integrated low dropout (LDO) voltage regulator and an ultra-low-power microcontroller (MCU) to demonstrate a full implementation of a battery-powered electric toothbrush.

Features
  • Battery voltage ranging from 2 V to 5.5 V
  • Delivers 5-A continuous and 8-A peak-drive current
  • Small PCB form factor of 43.2 mm x 14.6 mm
  • Low-component count to reduce cost
  • Less than 50-nA battery leakage current when off
