TIDRV8871EVM
Overview
The DRV8871EVM is a dedicated evaluation module for the DRV8871 brushed DC motor driver, supporting an operating voltage range of 8V to 40V. This single H-bridge driver board is designed to handle high-current loads and includes a built-in potentiometer for easy manual speed control. It provides a simple hardware platform to evaluate the integrated current regulation and protection features of the DRV8871 IC.
Why Choose This Part
The board features an onboard potentiometer for quick speed adjustments without requiring an external PWM source. It simplifies evaluation of the DRV8871 current-chopping regulation which reduces heat and improves motor efficiency.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Connect a DC power supply between 8V and 40V to the VM and GND terminals and attach a brushed DC motor to the OUT1 and OUT2 headers. Use the onboard logic headers to provide PWM signals for direction and speed control, or utilize the onboard potentiometer for standalone testing.
