7Semi Vikram-453R6: Versatile 45V 3.6A DRV8871 Motor Driver Breakout Board
The 7Semi Vikram-453R6 is a powerful motor driver breakout board designed for seamless integration with various brushed DC motors in your mechatronic projects.
Control Brushed DC Motors with Ease
This user-friendly breakout board features intuitive resistor-set current limiting and built-in PWM support. Simply connect your motor to the designated terminal block, apply power (6.5V to 45VDC) to the VMotor input, and control the H-bridge using the IN1 and IN2 terminals. The driver effortlessly handles pulse-width modulation (PWM) for refined control.
Streamlined Motor Control:
- Supports a wide range of motor power voltages (6.5V to 45V).
- Delivers up to 3.6A of peak current.
- User-friendly resistor-set current limiting for optimal motor control.
- Automatic PWM support for easy speed control using pulse-width modulation.
Customization Made Simple
Fine-tune the current limit using an external resistor (Rlim) for tailored motor operation. The package includes a fully assembled and tested breakout board, two terminal blocks for easy connections, and header pins for further customization.
Simplified Operation:
- Effortless setup – connect your motor, power supply, and control signals.
- Onboard driver chip (DRV8871) manages PWM control internally.
- External resistor (Rlim) allows for simple current limit customization.
