Power Management IC Development Tools Sabertooth Dual 25A DC Motor Driver

Overview

The DRI0004 is a dual-channel synchronous regenerative motor driver designed to deliver 25A continuous current per channel at voltages up to 30V. It features an ultra-sonic switching frequency for silent operation and includes dedicated lithium battery protection modes to prevent over-discharge.

Why Choose This Part

This driver offers triple-interface flexibility supporting analog, R/C, and serial communication for easy integration with different controllers. It provides robust protection with integrated thermal and overcurrent sensors, while its synchronous regenerative design significantly improves thermal efficiency compared to traditional H-bridges.

Applications

Heavyweight Combat Robotics
High current capability and regenerative braking make it ideal for 30lb to 100lb class mobile robots.
Electric Vehicles
Efficiently drives dual-motor drivetrains in small personal mobility devices or automated guided vehicles.
Industrial Automation
Precision control for high-torque linear actuators and DC gearmotors in factory floor equipment.
Battery-Powered Systems
Regenerative braking recharges the battery during deceleration, extending the operational runtime of mobile platforms.

Getting Started

Configure the onboard DIP switches to select your desired operating mode (Analog, R/C, or Serial) and battery type. Connect your power source to the B+ and B- terminals and your DC motors to the M1 and M2 outputs, ensuring the 30V maximum input voltage is not exceeded.
