Hello, Can I user PWM ports output from DP256 directly to the servo motor. Does it have protection against ove sinking ? Or is that above is possible only in H256 ? Thanks Naheed |

CPU pins are usually ttl logic levels... 5 v at a few ma. Cant drive much of a motor with that can you? Without a doubt, you need a big h bridge that will put out whatever voltage and current your motor wants. Seems logical when you think about it.

If you are talking about a standard hobby servo, it has a 3 pin connector with power, ground and control. The PWM outputs from the HC12 are perfectly suited to drive the control input directly. Just make sure the ground reference for the HC12 is the same as the ground reference for the power supply that you connect to the power input of the servo.
