Motor driver speed control with Arduino

Direction control using push buttons and Arduino 

Description

This DC motor drive was developed for high current requirements. It can be either installed on robotic chassis or on devices requiring high power for industrial use.

This module uses BTS7960 IC, which is a fully integrated high current half bridge for motor drive applications. It is part of the NovalithICTM family containing one p-channel highside MOSFET and one n-channel lowside MOSFET with an integrated driver IC in one package. Due to the p-channel highside switch the need for a charge pump is eliminated thus minimizing EMI. Interfacing to a micro controller is made easy by the integrated driver IC which features logic level inputs, diagnosis with current sense, slew rate adjustment, dead time generation and protection against overtemperature, overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent and short circuit. The BTS 7960 provides a cost optimized solution for protected high current PWM motor drives with very low board space consumption.Controller
