7Semi Vikram-3025: Powerful and User-Friendly Single-Channel DC Motor Driver
The Vikram-3025 by 7Semi is a high-performance single-channel DC motor driver designed for seamless control of brushed DC motors operating between 6V and 30V.
Effortless Power Handling:
- Robust discrete NMOS H-Bridge construction delivers a continuous current of 25A without requiring an additional heatsink.
Simplified Functionality:
- Onboard test buttons and motor output LEDs enable quick functional testing without a host controller connection.
- Integrated 5V Buck regulator eliminates the need for an external power source or high voltage buck regulator for high voltage applications.
Flexible Control Options:
- PWM and DIR inputs provide compatibility with a wide range of host controllers like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and PLCs, with an input logic voltage range of 1.8V to 30V.
- Supports manual control via potentiometer for speed adjustment and a switch for direction change.
Designed for Efficiency and User-Friendliness:
- Vikram-3025 simplifies motor control in various applications with its efficient design, versatility, and user-friendly features.
Unmatched Versatility:
- Bidirectional control: Ensures smooth forward and reverse operation of your DC motor.
- Dual Input Mode: Choose between PWM/DIR or Potentiometer/Switch control based on your project requirements.
- Extensive Compatibility: Works seamlessly with various logic voltage levels (1.8V, 3.3V, 5V, 12V, and 24V) commonly used in popular control boards.
Built-in Protection Features:
