EVAL-VNH5019-P2 STMicroelectronics

EVAL-VNH5019-P2 Dual VNH5019 Motor Driver Shield Arduino-Compatible Data brief Can survive input voltages up to 41 V Undervoltage and overvoltage shutdown High-side and low-side thermal shutdown Short-to-ground and short-to-Vcc protection Description This motor driver shield makes it easy to control two bidirectional, high-power, brushed DC motors with an Arduino-Compatible, SPC56P-Discovery Features and STM32 Nucleo boards. The board features a pair of robust VNH5019A motor drivers, which Wide operating voltage range: 5.5 - 24 V operate from 5.5 to 24 V and can deliver a High output current: up to 12 A continuous (30 continuous 12 A (30 A peak) per channel, and maximum) per motor incorporate most of the components of the typical application, like pull-up s and protection resistors Motor outputs can be combined to deliver up to and FETs for reverse battery protection. 24 A continuous (60 A maximum) to a single This versatile motor driver is intended for a wide motor range of users, from beginners who just want a Inputs compatible with both 5 V and 3.3 V plug-and-play motor control solution for their systems (logic high threshold is 2.1 V) Arduinos and Nucleo to experts who want to PWM operation up to 20 kHz for quieter motor directly interface with ST s great motor driver ICs. operation The Arduino pin mappings can all be customized if the defaults are not convenient and the Current sense voltage output proportional to VNH5019A control lines are broken out along the motor current left side of the board for general-purpose use Motor indicator LEDs show what the outputs without an Arduino. This versatility, along with an are doing even when no motor is connected option to power the Arduino directly from the Can be used with Arduino compatible boards, shield, set this board apart from similar competing SPC56P-Discovery, STM32 Nucleo or other motor shields and it is as well a perfect tool to microcontroller boards evaluate VNH5019A performance. When used as a shield, the motor power supply For more information please visit Pololu web site. can optionally be used to power the Arduino base as well Table 1.
