DRI0040 Fermion: HR8833 Thumbnail Sized DC Motor Driver 2x1.5A (Breakout)

Introduction

This is a ultra compact size Dual-H-Bridge dc motor driver (Based on HR8833), which could drive two way 1.5A DC brush motors up to 10V . It has the same footprint as your thumbnail suitable for projects with limited spaces. Both sides of the module are desgined with standard XH2.54 pins, which allows you to plug it on a breadboard or prototype board.

Control Method

The IA1 and IA2 input pins control the state of the MA1 and MA2 outputs; similarly, the IB1 and IB2 input pins control the state of the MB1 and MB2 outputs. Below table shows the logic.

Ix1 Ix2 Mx1 Mx2 Function
0 0 Z Z Coast/fast decay
0 1 L H Reverse
1 0 H L Forward
1 1 L L Brake/slow decay

The inputs can also be used for PWM control of the motor speed. When controlling a winding with PWM, when the drive current is interrupted, the inductive nature of the motor requires that the current must continue to flow.This is called recirculation current. To handle this recirculation current, the H-bridge can operate in two different states, fast decay or slow decay. In fast decay mode, the H-bridge is disabled and recirculation current flows through the body diodes; in slow decay, the motor winding is shorted. To PWM using fast decay, the PWM signal is applied to one Ix pin while the other is held low; to use slow decay, one Ix pin is held high.

Ix1 Ix2 Function Description
PWM 0 Forward PWM,fast decay Speed = High duty-cycle
1 PWM Forward PWM,slow decay Speed = Low duty-cycle
0 PWM Reverse PWM,fast decay Speed = High duty-cycle
PWM 1 Reverse PWM,slow decay Speed = Low duty-cycle
