The Pololu DRV8838 Single Brushed DC Motor Driver Carrier is a tiny H-bridge motor driver IC designed for bidirectional control of one brushed DC motor. It operates within a voltage range of 0 V to 11 V and can supply up to 1.7 A continuously, with peak currents up to 1.8 A for short durations. The driver features a PHASE/ENABLE interface for controlling direction and speed, and it is compatible with both 3V and 5V inputs.
Exceed the specified voltage limits of 0 V to 11 V for motor supply and 1.8 V to 7 V for logic supply.
Operate the driver beyond the maximum continuous output current of 1.7 A.
Carefully read the DRV8838 datasheet for detailed technical information.
Use with standard solderless breadboards and 0.1" perfboards for easy integration.
