Motor Control Shield for Arduino with BTN7030-1EPA
4 Getting started
4.1 Target applications
The application targeted by the BTN7030-1EPA devices is brushed DC Motor Control (door lock, trunk lock,
cinching latch), but also solenoids and pumps. Besides Motor Control any other inductive, resistive and
capacitive load within the electrical characteristics of the NovalithIC
TM
Lite can be driven by this device.
With the Motor Control Arduino Shield either uni-directional DC-brushed motors or one bi-directional brushed
motor (with the two half-bridges used in full-bridge configuration) can be driven. The half-bridges are
controlled via the IN (Input) and EN (enable) pins. The BTN7030-1EPA also provides a sense current at the IS
pin, which is enabled by setting the DEN (diagnosis enable) pin.
4.1.1 Getting started: Arduino Shield
 Choose a brushed DC motor.
 Choose a DC adapter. The nominal input of the Power Shield is 6 – 18 V DC. Maximum Voltage is 2 V
 Mount the Power Shield onto Arduino Uno R3 or XMC1100 Boot Kit.
 Connect power supply (5 V) to the Arduino Uno R3 or XMC1100 Boot Kit (Micro USB).

 Program the controller board with the motor control software (Arduino – example Software ).
o
In order to use the Arduino code on XMC1100 Boot Kit it is necessary to install SEGGER J-Link .
 For bi-directional applications connect the motor to OUT1 and OUT2 (full-bridge). For uni-directional
use, the motor can be placed between an output OUT1/OUT2 and either GND or VBAT (half-bridge).

Connect the Power supply to the Power Shield (VBAT, GND).

Turn on the power.
