Features
Voltage range from 7 to 45 V
Output current up to 1.5 Arms for each motor
Two independent current limiters with adjustable OFF time
Full protection set including: overcurrent, short-circuit, under voltage lock out
and thermal shutdown
Parallel operation
Compatible with Arduino UNO R3 connector
Compatible with STM32 Nucleo boards
Description
The X-NUCLEO-IHM15A1 dual brush DC motor driver expansion board is based on
the STSPIN840 for STM32 Nucleo.
It provides an affordable and easy-to-use solution for the implementation of compact
motor driving applications such as thermal printers, robotics and toys.
Thanks to the parallel operation, it can be easily converted to a single brush DC
driver with double current capability.
The current limiters and complete set of protection features make it suitable for
rugged applications.
The X-NUCLEO-IHM15A1 is compatible with the Arduino UNO R3 connector and
most STM32 Nucleo boards.
