Compact dev tool delivers precise control of BDC motors in industrial and robotic applications

DC Motor 31 Click is a compact add-on board developed to drive brushed DC motors, providing precise control, torque adjustment, and fault monitoring for a broad variety of applications. Produced by MIKROE, the board is a recent addition to the company’s 1800-strong Click board family.

Comments Nebojsa Matic, CEO of MIKROE: “This Click board is an ideal solution for industrial automation, consumer devices, and robotic systems that require robust and energy-efficient brushed DC motor control. To inspire and support development, we have already created hundreds of ready-to-use embedded projects featuring the DC Motor 31 Click at EmbeddedWiki.”

The board is based on the TB67H482FNG, a BiCD constant-current single H-bridge driver IC from Toshiba Semiconductor. Supporting motor supply voltages from 8.2V to 44V and output currents of up to 4A, it incorporates PWM constant-current drive, decay mode selection, and a trimmer for fine-tuning motor speed.

Like all Click boards released by the company, the DC Motor 31 Click also features the ClickID function, which allows automatic identification by the host system, simplifying use. Devices are fully compatible with the mikroBUS socket and can be used on any host system supporting the mikroBUS standard. They arrive with the mikroSDK open-source libraries, providing excellent flexibility for evaluation and customisation.
