Pololu G2 High-Power Motor Driver 24v13

This discrete MOSFET H-bridge motor driver enables bidirectional control of a high-power brushed DC motor. The small board, measuring 1.3″ x 0.8″, supports a wide voltage range of 6.5 V to 40 V and is so efficient that it can deliver a continuous current of 13 A without a heat sink. Other features of this second-generation (G2) driver include reverse-voltage protection as well as basic current sensing and current limiting functions.

Features:

• H-bridge motor driver: can drive a bidirectional brushed DC motor
  
• Operating voltage: 6.5 V to 40 V (absolute maximum)
  
• Output current: 13 A continuous
  
• Inputs compatible with 1.8 V, 3.3 V and 5 V logic
  
• PWM operation up to 100 kHz
  
• Current sense output proportional to motor current (approx. 40 mV/A; only active while the H-bridge is driving the motor)
  
• Active current limiting (chopping) with a default threshold of 30 A (can be adjusted downward)
  
• Reverse-voltage protection
  
• Undervoltage shutdown
  
• Short-circuit protection
  
• Dimensions: 1.3″ × 0.8″, weight 3.3 g
  
• Two 0.086″ mounting holes for #2 or M2 screws
