SAM-VNH7DC12A

Ultra Compact 12A

DC Motor Driver

The small yet powerful H Bridge DC driver  SAM-VNH7DC12A breakout board has a lot of great specs that make it useful for a wide variety of mechatronics. In particular the high current output and automotive grade reliability makes it a great choice for almost any DC motor. 

 

This board comes pre assembled using the automotive grade VNH7100AS H-Bridge driver, incorporating a dual monolithic high-side driver and two low-side switches. Both switches are designed to efficiently integrate on the same die for a true Power MOSFET with intelligent signal/protection circuitry.
