Cytron SmartDriveDuo-10 MDDS10 - 10A DC Motor Driver (7V-35V)

The Cytron SmartDriveDuo-10 MDDS10 combines the specifications of the MDD10A and the smart features of the MDS40A, offering bidirectional control for two brushed DC motors at 10 amps each. It features MOSFETs as H-bridge switching for faster switching time, operated at 16KHz for quiet operation. With an on-board temperature sensor, it intelligently reduces output current to prevent overheating.

  Key Features:  

• Bidirectional Control: Drives two brushed DC motors independently or in mix mode.
• Wide Voltage Range: Supports motor voltages from 7V to 35V.
• Operating Modes: Supports RC (RC servo signal), analog, PWM, simplified, and packetized UART.
• Manual/Test Buttons: Two buttons for each channel for manual operation and testing.
• Output Indicator LEDs: Two LEDs for each channel to indicate motor output.
• Error Indicators: LEDs indicate error conditions such as under voltage, over-voltage, over-temperature, and shutdown.
• Temperature Feedback: Reduces output current to prevent MOSFET overheating.
• Regenerative Braking: Enhances motor control and efficiency.
• Current Handling: Supports up to 10A continuous current and 30A peak for 10 seconds.
• Switching Frequency: Operates at 16KHz for quiet operation.
• On-board Voltage Regulator: Provides higher power efficiency.
• Battery Low Voltage Monitoring: Warns of low battery voltage.
• Compatibility: Suitable for combat or sumo robots.
• Solid-state MOSFETs: Eliminate the need for external flyback diodes.
