This is a DRV8835 Dual Motor Driver Carrier. Texas Instruments’ DRV8835 is a tiny dual H-bridge motor driver IC that can be used for bidirectional control of two brushed DC motors at 0 V to 11 V. It can supply up to about 1.2 A per channel continuously and can tolerate peak currents up to 1.5 A per channel for a few seconds, making it an ideal driver for small motors that run on relatively low voltages. The DRV8835 is a great IC, but its small, leadless package makes it difficult for the typical student or hobbyist to use; our breakout board gives this driver the form factor of a 14-pin DIP package, which makes it easy to use with standard solderless breadboards and 0.1″ perfboards Since this board is a carrier for the DRV8835, we recommend careful reading of the DRV8835 datasheet The board ships populated with SMD components, including the DRV8835, and adds a FET for reverse battery protection.

Features:

1. Dual-H-bridge motor driver: can drive two DC motors or one bipolar stepper motor
2. Motor supply voltage: 0 V to 11 V
3. Logic supply voltage: 2 V to 7 V
4. Output current: 1.2 A continuous (1.5 A peak) per motor
5. Motor outputs can be paralleled to deliver 2.4 A continuous (3 A peak) to a single motor
6. Two possible interface modes: IN/IN (outputs mostly mirror inputs) or PHASE/ENABLE (one pin for direction and another for speed)

Package Includes:

1. 1 x Pololu DRV8835 Dual Motor Driver Carrier
