I'm trying to drive 16 micro vibrator motors that take 60mA at 3V. I can individually wire them or wire them as a matrix. Only one motor will be active at any time. So, for the individually wired option a 4 to 16 decoder with the ability to supply 60mA would be required. For the matrix solution 8 half bridges would be required. I need this to be small and so an SOIC solution would work best for me.
Anyone got suggestions for suitable chips or alternative ideas on how to drive these? I found these, which would be perfect but noway can I solder a 6 pin package with overall dimensions of 1.18 x 0.78 mm by hand. Insane.
BTW, the motors are tiny too - 10mm dia by 2.5mm thick. Gonna need my magnifiers for this.
Thanks,
Mike.
