PAM8016
HAPTIC DRIVER FOR ERM AND LRA
Description
The PAM8016 is a haptic driver designed with low-latency, high-
efficiency, and more drive strength capable of driving Linear
Resonance Actuator (LRA) and Eccentric Rotating Mass (ERM)
haptic elements, which are commonly used for tactile feedback in the
portable market.
The PAM8016 support flexible inputs with differential, single-ended or
PWM inputs to ease the host microcontroller in driving the haptic
elements. PAM8016 is designed with filterless architecture that
requires no external output filter, fewer external components, less
PCB area and lower system costs, and simplifies application design.
The PAM8016 also features short-circuit protection and thermal
shutdown to provide the optimal protection.
The PAM8016 is available in U-FLGA1515-9 package.
