Pololu G2 High Power Motor Driver 17A, 6.5V-30V

• Operating voltage: 6.5 V to 30 V (absolute maximum)
• Output current: 17 A continuous
• Inputs compatible with 1.8 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic
• PWM operation up to 100 kHz

This Pololu G2 High Power Motor Driver 17A, 6.5V-30V enables bidirectional control of one high-power DC brushed motor. The small 1.3″ × 0.8″ board supports a wide 6.5 V to 30 V voltage range and is efficient enough to deliver a continuous 17 A without a heat sink. Additional features of this second-generation (G2) driver include reverse-voltage protection along with basic current sensing and current limiting functionality.

Features:

• Current sense output proportional to motor current (approx. 20 mV/A; only active while H-bridge is driving)
• Active current limiting (chopping) with default threshold of 40 A (can be adjusted lower)
• Reverse-voltage protection
• Undervoltage shutdown
• Short circuit protection
