The Pololu MP6550 Single Brushed DC Motor Driver Carrier is a compact breakout board designed for the MPS MP6550 motor driver. This device boasts a broad operating voltage range from 1.8 to 22 V and is capable of delivering a continuous 1.7 A, with a peak of 2.5 A, to a single brushed DC motor. The MP6550 is equipped with built-in current sensing and current limiting features, providing protection against under-voltage, over-current, and over-temperature conditions. The carrier board further enhances the device's safety by offering reverse-voltage protection up to 20 V.
The MP6550, a product of Monolithic Power Systems (MPS), is an H-bridge motor driver IC that facilitates bidirectional control of one brushed DC motor within the voltage range of 1.8 to 22 V. It can consistently supply up to approximately 1.7 A and has configurable current sensing and current limiting features. The board comes fully equipped with all of its SMD components, including the MP6550.
- 2x 1x6-Pin Breakaway 0.1-inch Male Headers
- 1x MP6550 Motor Driver Carrier
- H-bridge motor driver: capable of driving one DC motor
- Motor supply voltage: 1.8 to 22 V
- Logic supply voltage: 1.8 to 4.9 V
- Output current: up to 1.7 A continuous. Operation at low motor and logic supply voltages reduces the maximum continuous output current
- Current control limits peak current to 2.5 A by default (this limit can be adjusted)
- Under-voltage lockout and protection against over-current and over-temperature
- Carrier board adds reverse-voltage protection up to 20 V
