Cytron MD13S 13A DC Motor Driver - GROVE Compatible

The Cytron MD13S DC Motor Driver represents a significant improvement over its predecessor, the MD10C, particularly in current protection capabilities. With enhanced circuitry and design, the MD13S can deliver a maximum output current of 30A and sustain a continuous current of 13A at room temperature (25°C).

  Features:  

• Bi-directional Control: Enables control of the speed and direction of one brushed DC motor.
• Wide Voltage Range: Supports motor voltage ranging from 6V to 30V, offering versatility for various applications.
• High Current Handling: Capable of handling a peak current of up to 30A for 10 seconds and a continuous current of 13A.
• GROVE Compatibility: Designed to be compatible with GROVE connectors, allowing for easy integration into GROVE-based projects.
• Logic Level Input: Accepts both 3.3V and 5V logic level inputs, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of microcontrollers.
• Solid-State Components: Utilizes solid-state components for faster response times and increased reliability compared to mechanical relays.
• Fully NMOS H-Bridge: Employs a fully NMOS H-Bridge design for improved efficiency, eliminating the need for a heat sink.
• PWM Speed Control: Supports speed control with PWM frequencies up to 20KHz, providing smooth motor operation.
• Multiple PWM Operation Modes: Supports both locked-antiphase and sign-magnitude PWM operation modes, enhancing flexibility in motor control.
• SMD Compatibility: Features surface-mount device (SMD) compatibility, making it suitable for compact and space-constrained applications.
