The DC Motor 15 Click Board™ is a compact add-on board that contains a motor driver with current sense and regulation. This board features the DRV8874, an integrated motor driver with N-channel H-bridge, charge pump, current sensing, and adjustment from Texas Instruments. The current sensing and regulation feature eliminates the need for a large power shunt resistor, saving board area, and reducing system cost. The current-sense output allows an MCU to detect motor stalls or changes in load conditions. The DRV8874 can also regulate the motor current during Start-Up and high-load events without interaction from MCU. This Click Board™ is suitable for a brushed DC and servo motor and actuator drive, home appliances, handheld power tools, and many more.
The DC Motor 15 Click is supported by a mikroSDK compliant library, which includes functions that simplify software development. This Click Board™ comes as a fully tested product, ready to be used on a system equipped with the mikroBUS™ socket.
