7Semi Vikram 3020 High-Current Single-Channel Brushed DC Motor Driver with 7–32V Input and 20A Continuous Output
The 7Semi Vikram 3020 is a high-current single-channel motor driver designed to control one brushed DC motor from a 7–32V DC motor supply. Its discrete full H-bridge power stage provides bidirectional forward and reverse operation, while separate direction and PWM control inputs allow straightforward integration with microcontrollers and embedded controllers. The module supports up to 20A continuous motor current and short-duration peak currents up to 60A for a maximum of 1 second.
With support for both 3.3V and 5V logic signals, the driver can interface with common Arduino, ESP32, STM32, RP2040, and similar control platforms. A maximum PWM control frequency of 20kHz supports adjustable motor-speed control, while integrated overcurrent, overvoltage, VM undervoltage-lockout, and thermal-shutdown functions help protect the power stage during abnormal operating conditions. The 120°C thermal-shutdown threshold adds protection in high-current robotics, automated vehicles, actuators, and industrial motion-control systems.
