Description
The MD10C DC brushed motor driver is a widely used and easily accessible motor in the market. It's simple to make it rotate – just connect the two terminals to a power source, and it starts spinning. This is the beauty of the DC brushed motor. However, if you want to control its speed, direction, activation, and automate these functions, you should explore our tutorial on the "5 easiest ways to control a DC motor." One of the ways to achieve this is by using a motor driver, and the MD10C is one of Cytron's motor driver series known for its user-friendly features.
- Bi-directional control for a single Brushed DC motor (Single Channel).
- Supports motor voltage ranges from 5V to 30VDC.
- Please note there is no Reverse Polarity Protection at Vmotor, so double-check the polarity before powering up.
- It offers regenerative braking.
- Provides a maximum current rating of up to 13A continuous and 30A peak (for 10 seconds).
- Accepts 3.3V and 5V logic level input, making it compatible with platforms like Arduino and Raspberry Pi.
- Incorporates solid-state components for faster response times and eliminates the wear and tear associated with mechanical relays.
- Utilizes a fully NMOS H-Bridge for enhanced efficiency, and no heat sink is required.
- Supports speed control PWM frequency up to 20KHz (output frequency matches input frequency).
- Offers support for both Locked-Antiphase and Sign-Magnitude PWM operation. Please note that it is not "RC PWM."
- The new MD10C can be powered from a single power source, and no additional Vin is required.
- Dimensions: 75mm x 43mm
