Product Description

The BOS1921 is a single-chip piezo actuator driver with energy recovery based on Boreas’ patented CapDrive™ technology. It can drive actuators with waveforms up to 190 Vpk-pk while operating from a 3 to 5.5 V supply voltage. Its low power and small size make it ideal for various applications requiring minimal power consumption.

The BOS1921 features high-resolution piezo sensing capabilities allowing haptic feedback to be automatically played when detection conditions are met.

The BOS1921 differential driver achieves low distortion waveforms and quiet actuator operation. All settings are adjustable through the digital front end to reduce the BOM.

Data and configuration parameters are easily communicated to the BOS1921 through its two-wire MIPI I3C interface. The MIPI I3C is also backward compatible with I2C for easy integration in most systems. A flexible deep FIFO enables the streaming of digital waveform data for playback or the transmission of burst data for more bandwidth efficiency. The BOS1921 also integrates a waveform synthesizer and 2 kB of RAM waveform memory to generate HD haptic waveforms with minimal communication bandwidth.

A dedicated SYNC pin can synchronize multiple BOS1921 controllers to drive multiple actuators within 2 μs simultaneously.

With a typical start-up time of less than 300 μs, the BOS1921 latency is negligible in most systems.

Various safety systems protect the BOS1921 from damage in case of a fault.
