TB6612FNG Dual Motor Driver Module

TB6612FNG Dual Motor Driver Module

Upgrade your robot’s performance with the compact and highly efficient TB6612FNG Dual Motor Driver Module. This driver is a modern replacement for older H-bridges like the L298N, offering superior performance in a much smaller package. It’s the ideal choice for battery-powered mobile robots where power efficiency and size are critical.

The TB6612FNG uses a MOSFET-based H-bridge circuit, which results in significantly lower voltage drops and less wasted energy compared to traditional BJT-based drivers. This means longer battery life and better performance from your motors. The module can control two DC motors independently, providing full control over speed (via PWM) and direction. It can also be used to drive a single bipolar stepper motor.

With a wide motor voltage range and built-in thermal shutdown protection, this tiny powerhouse is a reliable and efficient solution for bringing motion to your next project.

Key Features:

• Driver Chip: Toshiba TB6612FNG
• Motor Voltage (VM): 2.5V to 13.5V DC
• Logic Voltage (VCC): 2.7V to 5.5V DC
• Max Current: 1.2A continuous current per channel (3.2A peak)
• High Efficiency: MOSFET H-bridge for minimal power loss
• Control Modes: Clockwise, Counter-Clockwise, Short-Brake, and Stop
