DRV8833 Dual DC Motor Driver Module

DRV8833 Dual DC Motor Driver Module

Drive small motors with exceptional efficiency using the DRV8833 Dual DC Motor Driver Module. This compact and powerful driver from Texas Instruments is an excellent choice for robotics and mechatronics projects where size and battery life are paramount. It offers superior performance over older drivers like the L293D in a much smaller footprint.

The DRV8833 features two independent H-bridges, allowing it to drive two brushed DC motors or a single bipolar stepper motor. Thanks to its internal MOSFETs, it operates with very low power loss, making it ideal for battery-powered applications. It can operate on motor voltages as low as 2.7V, enabling you to build projects with a wide range of power sources.

This module includes built-in protection against reverse-voltage, over-current, and over-temperature conditions, ensuring both the driver and your motors are safe. The breakout board comes with header pins for easy use with breadboards or custom PCBs.

Key Features:

• Driver Chip: Texas Instruments DRV8833
• Motor Voltage (VM): 2.7V to 10.8V DC
• Logic Voltage (VCC): 2.7V to 10.8V DC
• Max Current: 1.5A continuous current per channel
• High Efficiency: Low-resistance MOSFET H-bridge design
