MX1508 Dual DC Motor Driver Module (Mini)

MX1508 Dual DC Motor Driver Module (Mini)

Drive small motors in your most compact projects with the ultra-small MX1508 Dual DC Motor Driver Module. Often considered a “mini L298N,” this tiny board offers control over two DC motors or one 4-wire stepper motor in a fraction of the space. Its key advantage is its low-voltage operation, making it the perfect choice for projects powered by just two AA or AAA batteries.

The MX1508 is designed for efficiency and simplicity, allowing you to control the speed (via PWM) and direction of two small hobby motors. This makes it ideal for building miniature robots, smart toys, and other battery-powered devices where both size and voltage compatibility are critical.

Don’t let its size fool you; this module can deliver up to 1.5A of continuous current, which is more than enough for most small DC gear motors (like BO motors). It’s a fantastic, low-cost replacement for older, bulkier drivers like the L293D in space-constrained applications.

Key Features:

• Driver Chip: MX1508 (or compatible)
• Motor Voltage: 2V to 10V DC
• Continuous Current: 1.5A per channel
• Peak Current: Up to 2.5A
• Control Channels: 2 channels for DC motors, or 1 for a 4-wire stepper motor
• Ultra-Compact Size: Measures approximately 25mm x 21mm
• Low Standby Current: Less than 0.1uA, preserving battery life

Applications:

The MX1508 is perfectly suited for miniature robot cars, DIY smart toys, motorized models, and any low-voltage, battery-powered project that requires simple and effective motor control. It works seamlessly with 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers like Arduino, ESP8266, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi.
