Cytron 30A 5-30V Single Brushed DC Motor Driver
Description
- Cytron 30A 5-30V Single Brushed DC Motor Driver
- Bi-directional control for 1 brushed DC motor
- Maximum current: 80A peak (1 second), 30A continuously
- Motor voltage: 5V - 30V
- 3.3V and 5V logic level input
The 30A 5-30V Single Brushed DC Motor Driver is designed to drive medium to high power brushed DC motor with current capacity up to 80A peak and 30A continuously. Fully NMOS design not only provides faster switching time, it is also more efficient and no heat sink or fan is required. Besides that, it also incorporates some user friendly features such as reverse polarity protection and onboard PWM generator which allows it to operate without a host controller. The motor can simply be controlled with the onboard switches and speed potentiometer. External switches and potentiometer can also be used.

Features
- Fully NMOS H-Bridge for better efficiency and no heat sink is required
- Speed control PWM frequency up to 20KHz
- Onboard PWM generator with switches and potentiometer for standalone operation
- Support both locked-antiphase and sign-magnitude for external PWM operation
- 1x Cytron 30A 5-30V Single Brushed DC Motor Driver
Circuit board works amazing, but one stopped working for some reason. Customer service were outstanding, replacement board arrived within a few days of the issue, all sorted. Thanks guys
Quite big for a driver but then again, I am driving a lot of power through it. Ahhh the joys of running big things using small controllers :-). Had to change the jumpers so that my Raspberry PI could control it. After that, worked like a charm. Using it to open a large entrance gate.
After buying a cheap Chinese unit that failed right out of the box, I found this company and decided to give their product a try. The unit works perfectly, is well built, and well designed as far as I can tell with my limited electronic experience.
Its been a year. I do not use it much but this device is working well. I am using it to drive a wheel chair motor. I use PWM and I also instantly reverse it. I have not noticed any heat or other troubles. The buttons are really helpful for checking things. I am driving mine with an Arduino.
We are buying these boards for several times now and they are very reliable. Read their description carefully and you won't have any problems.
