DRV8833 is a dual H-bridge motor driver IC that can be used for bidirectional control of two brushed DC motors at 2.7Ā V to 10.8Ā V. It can supply up to about 1.2Ā A per channel continuously and can tolerate peak currents up to 2Ā A per channel for a few seconds, making it an ideal driver for small motors that run on relatively low voltages. The board ships populated with SMD components, including the DRV8833, and adds a FET for reverse battery protection.
This board is very similar to ourĀ DRV8835 dual motor driver carrierĀ in operating voltage range and continuous current rating, but the DRV8835 has a lower minimum operating voltage, offers an extra control interface mode, and is 0.1ā³ smaller in each dimension; we also carry aĀ DRV8835 dual motor driver shieldĀ that is easy to use with an Arduino. The DRV8833 has a higher peak current rating (2Ā A per channel vs 1.5Ā A), optional built-in current-limiting, and no need for externally supplied logic voltage.
For a smaller, lower-cost, single-channel alternative to this driver, please consider ourĀ DRV8838 carrier, which offers a similar operating voltage range and current capabilities.
For higher-voltage alternatives to this driver, consider our A4990 and DRV8801 motor driver carriers.
Note - The color and the layout of the board may differ, but it is the same Motor Driver Module.
