Cytron 3Amp 4V-16V Dual Channel DC Motor Driver MDD3A

If you’re in search of a motor driver for your mobile robot or require the ability to drive a stepper motor, the MDD3A is an ideal solution. This motor driver is capable of controlling two brushed DC motors or a single bipolar/unipolar stepper motor within the voltage range of 4V to 16V. Featuring a discrete MOSFETs H-Bridge design, the MDD3A supports a continuous 3 Amp per channel without the need for an additional heatsink.

The onboard test buttons and motor output LEDs simplify the functional testing of the motor driver, providing a quick and convenient way to assess its performance without connecting it to the host controller. The MDD3A includes a buck-boost regulator that generates a 5V output from input as low as 4V, allowing it to power the host controller. Controlled with a wide input logic voltage range from 1.8V to 12V, the MDD3A is compatible with a variety of host controllers such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and PLC. To safeguard the motor driver from damage due to reverse voltage when the battery is connected incorrectly, the MDD3A is equipped with reverse polarity protection. This feature proves invaluable in preventing a common mistake made by many makers, including experienced ones.
