Cytron SmartDriveDuo-60 MDDS60 - 60A DC Motor Driver (7V-45V, Peak 100A)

The Cytron SmartDriveDuo-60 MDDS60 is a robust motor driver designed for high-performance applications, supporting dual channels with 60A continuous current for each channel and a peak current of 100A for 1 second. It incorporates the smart features of the MDDS10 while offering higher continuous current capability and enhanced cooling with dual DC brushless fans attached to the top cover.

  Key Features:  

• Dual Channels: Drives two brushed DC motors independently or in mix mode.
• Wide Voltage Range: Supports motor voltages from 7V to 45V.
• 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: Limits output current to prevent MOSFET overheating.
• Regenerative Braking: Enhances motor control and efficiency.
• Current Handling: Supports up to 60A continuous current at room temperature and up to 100A peak for 1 second.
• 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.
• Dual DC Brushless Fans: Attached to the top cover for enhanced cooling.
• Compatibility: Suitable for combat or sumo robots.
• Solid-state MOSFETs: Eliminate the need for external flyback diodes.
