1. INTRODUCTION
Enhanced SmartDrive40 is an enhancement version of SmartDrive40 which is designed to
drive medium to high power brushed DC motor with current capacity up to 80A peak and
40A 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.
Enhanced SmartDrive40’s feature makes driving a robot with differential drive a truly plug
and play experience.
Some of the features for Enhanced SmartDrive40 are summarized as below:
●
Bi-directional control for dual brushed DC motor.
●
Support motor voltage from 10V to 45V.
●
Maximum current up to 80A peak (1 second), 40A continuously.
●
On board MOSFETs are switched at 16 KHz for quiet operation.
●
Battery low voltage indicator.
●
Battery over voltage indicator.
●
Thermal protection.
●
Multiple input modes: RC, Analog, PWM, Simplified Serial and Packetized Serial.
●
On board push buttons for fast test and manual operation.
●
No polarity protection for V motor
