DESCRIPTION
RETIRED PRODUCT – We’ve stopped stocking this product or it has been retired by the manufacturer and is no longer for sale. This page remains available for its resources and as a source of potential interest.
Looking for a new motor driver for your robot? Want to drive a stepper motor? Worry not! The MDD3A is able to control two brushed DC motors or a single bipolar/unipolar stepper motor from 4V to 16V. With discrete MOSFETs H-Bridge design, this motor driver is able to support 3 Amp per channel continuously without any additional heatsinks.
The onboard test buttons and motor output LEDs allow functional tests of the motor driver in a quick and convenient way without hooking up the host controller. A Buck-boost regulator produces 5V output from an input as low as 4V can be used to power the host controller.
MDD3A can be controlled with wide input logic voltage range from 1.8V to 12V, it’s compatible with a wide variety of host controllers (e.g. Arduino, Raspberry Pi, PLC).
It is equipped with reverse polarity protection, to prevent the motor driver from damage by reverse voltage if the battery is connected in the wrong polarity. This is a very common mistake done by a lot of makers even for the very experienced one.
