Overview
The DMC 60 is an electronic speed controller designed for driving brushed DC motors. It utilizes synchronous
rectification to efficiently produce a variable output voltage that’s controlled by a PWM Input Signal. This makes
the DMC 60 ideal for use in robotics applications, including FIRST Robotics Competition.
