SparkFun Motor Driver - Dual TB6612FNG (1A)

The TB6612FNG motor controller can drive up to two DC motors with a continuous current of 1.2A (3.2A peak). Two input signals (IN1 and IN2) can be used to control the motor in one of four operational modes: clockwise, counterclockwise, short brake, and stop. The two motor outputs (A and B) can be controlled separately, and the speed of each motor is regulated via a PWM input signal with a frequency of up to 100kHz. The STBY pin should be pulled HIGH to take the motor out of standby mode. The logic supply voltage (VCC) can range from 2.7 to 5.5VDC, while the motor supply (VM) is limited to a maximum voltage of 15VDC. The output current is rated at up to 1.2A per channel (or up to 3.2A for a brief, single pulse). This compact board comes fully assembled with all components as shown. Decoupling capacitors are included on both supply lines. All pins of the TB6612FNG are arranged on two 0.1" spacers, with the input pins on one side and the output pins on the other side.

Features:

• Supply voltage: VM = 15V max; VCC = 2.7-5.5V
• Output current: Iout = 1.2A (average) / 3.2A (peak)
• Standby control for power saving
• CW/CCW/short brake/stop motor control modes
• Built-in over-temperature protection and under-voltage detection
• All TB6612FNG pins arranged on 0.1" spacers
• Filter capacitors on both supply lines.
