DC Motor Board
Product Description
The DC Motor Board is a variable speed controller for 12V brushed
DC motors at up to 1.0 Amp continuous current. This board offers a
high degree of isolation with the use of high speed 10MBit/s Logic
Gate opto-isolators for isolation between low voltage control side
and high voltage motor side.
The heart of the board is an Si9986, an integrated, buffered
H-bridge with TTL compatible inputs and the capability of delivering
a continuous 1.0A at 12V with switching rates up to 200 kHz. By
supporting high-frequency pulse width modulation (PWM), the DC motor
can run smoothly and quietly over a wide speed range. This board
includes two LED’s to show the PWM input signal states. Heavy duty
screw terminal blocks are provided for easy motor connection.
The TTL compatible inputs allows this board to work with most of
the microcontrollers and control systems. The Standard 0.1" FRC
headers are provided for easy connection to other control systems.
The board can be used for prototype development by hobbyists and
engineers. The board is also suitable for teaching and learning DC
Motor control programming.
