Product User’s Manual –
1.0 INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW
is one of the latest smart series motor drivers designed to drive high power
brushed DC motor with current capacity up to 160A continuously. MOSFETs are switched at
16 KHz to ensure quiet operation and no annoying whining sound. Besides, it also equipped
with a microcontroller unit to provide smart features such as multiple input mode, current
limiting and thermal protection.
SmartDrive160 can also be hooked up with another similar unit and operates in pair. This
make driving a robot with differential drive a truly plug and play experience.
Some of the features for SmartDrive160 are summarized as below:
●
Bidirectional control for a single brushed DC motor.
●
Support input voltage from 8V to 28V.
●
Maximum current up to 190A peak (1 minute), 175A (2 minutes) or 160A
(continuously).
●
16 KHz switching frequency for quiet operation.
●
LiPo battery low voltage warning.
●
Thermal protection.
●
Current limiting base on temperature.
