Dual 1.2A Motor Driver Shield for Arduino

This motor driver shield and its corresponding Arduino library make it easy to control a pair of bidirectional, brushed DC motors with an Arduino or compatible board, such as the A-Star 32U4 Prime. The board features Texas Instruments’ DRV8835 dual H-bridge motor driver IC, which allows it to operate from 1.5 V to 11 V and makes it particularly well suited for driving small, low-voltage motors. The shield can deliver a continuous 1.2 A per channel and tolerate peak currents up to 1.5 A per channel for a few seconds, and the channels can be optionally configured to run in parallel to deliver twice the current to a single motor. The shield ships fully populated with its SMD components, including the DRV8835 driver and a FET for reverse battery protection; header pins for interfacing with an Arduino and terminal blocks for connecting motors and power are included but are not soldered in.

Quick Spec

• Motor driver: DRV8835
• Motor channels: 2
• Minimum operating voltage: 1.5V (The DRV8835 itself has a minimum motor supply voltage of 0 V, but the board's reverse-voltage protection circuit limits the minimum to 1.5 V.)
• Maximum operating voltage: 11V
• Continuous output current per channel: 1.2A (typical results with 100% duty cycle at room temperature)
• Peak output current per channel: 1.5A
• Continuous paralleled output current: 2.4A (typical results with 100% duty cycle at room temperature)
• Maximum PWM frequency: 250kHz
• Reverse voltage protection
