The A4990 Dual Motor Driver Carrier is a compact and efficient solution to control two bidirectional DC motors. This breakout board utilizes Allegro’s A4990 dual motor driver, which operates over a wide voltage range of 6V to 32V. The board can deliver a steady 0.7A to each motor channel, with onboard sense resistors that enable the A4990 to cap the peak motor current at approximately 0.9A per channel. In addition, the driver is equipped with protection mechanisms against reverse-voltage, under-voltage, over-voltage, over-current, and over-temperature.
The A4990 Dual Motor Driver Carrier is not just compact and powerful, but also versatile. This makes it the ideal choice for a range of applications, from robotics to automation systems. With the ability to control two bidirectional DC motors, it opens up a wide array of possibilities for project designs.
One of the key benefits of the A4990 Dual Motor Driver Carrier is its extensive protection features. It safeguards against a variety of potential issues including reverse-voltage, under-voltage, over-voltage, over-current, and over-temperature. This ensures the longevity of the board and the overall system it is integrated into.
Unique to the A4990 Dual Motor Driver Carrier is its onboard sense resistors. These enable the A4990 to limit the peak motor current to about 0.9A per channel. This not only protects the motor but also allows for more precise control over the motor's operation. This feature sets the A4990 Dual Motor Driver Carrier apart from other motor driver boards on the market.
The A4990 Dual Motor Driver Carrier, with its compact form, powerful performance, and comprehensive protection features, offers a reliable and efficient solution for controlling bidirectional DC motors. Whether it's for a robotics project or an automation system, this board is designed to deliver.
