Cytron 10Amp 5V-30V DC Motor Driver
The MD10C, a powerful motor driver designed to drive high current brushed DC motors up to 13A continuously. With several enhancements over its predecessor, the MD10B, the MD10C offers improved performance and reliability.
One of the key features of the MD10C is its support for both locked-antiphase and sign-magnitude PWM signals, allowing for precise control of motor speed and direction. Additionally, the MD10C utilizes full solid-state components, eliminating the need for mechanical relays and resulting in faster response times and reduced wear and tear.
Getting started with the MD10C is easy, thanks to Cytron's motor driver special feature: the on-board manual/test buttons. This makes it easy to test and operate the motor driver without the need for an external controller.
While the MD10C is compatible with Arduino and Raspberry Pi, it can also be used with other devices that generate 3.3V logic PWM signals. This versatility makes it a great choice for a wide range of applications.
The MD10C is capable of driving DC brushed motors with two terminals, operating at voltages ranging from 5V to 30V. It can handle a rated current of up to 13A and a peak current of up to 30A for short durations. The motor driver also supports bi-directional control for a single brushed DC motor.
With regenerative braking capabilities, the MD10C allows for efficient energy recovery during deceleration. Its fully NMOS H-Bridge design ensures better efficiency and eliminates the need for a heat sink.
Measuring at 75mm x 43mm, the MD10C is compact and easy to integrate into your projects. Its solid construction and reliable performance make it a great choice for robotics, automation, and other applications requiring high-current motor control.
