MMP SA-2550A 

SERVO AMPLIFIER 

 
 
 

Description 

 

Power Range 

Peak Current 

50 A 

The MMP SA-2550A PWM servo amplifier is designed to 

drive brushed or brushless type DC motors at a high 

switching frequency.   A single red/green LED indicates 

operating status. The drive is fully protected against 

over-voltage, under- voltage, over-current, over-heating 

and short-circuits across motor, ground and power 

leads. Furthermore, the drive can interface with digital 

controllers or be used stand-alone, and requires only a 

single unregulated DC power supply. Loop gain, current 

limit, input gain and offset can be adjusted using 14-

turn potentiometers. The offset adjusting potentiometer 

can also be used as an on-board input signal for testing 

purposes. This drive can use quadrature encoder inputs, 

Hall Sensors, or a tachometer for velocity control.
