TB6612FNG Dual Motor Driver Module (Microcontroller Motor Driver)

The TB6612FNG Dual Motor Driver Module is a compact, high-efficiency breakout board capable of controlling two DC motors or one bipolar stepper motor. Based on Toshiba's MOSFET-based H-bridge technology, it delivers up to 1.2A of continuous current per channel (3.2A peak) while generating much less heat and wasting less voltage than older drivers like the L298N.

Key Features

• Dual-Channel Output: Control direction and speed of two DC motors independently.
• MOSFET H-Bridge Structure: Lower on-resistance ($0.5\Omega$ typ.) means higher efficiency and cooler operation.
• Multiple Control Modes: Supports CW, CCW, Short Brake, and Stop modes.
• Built-in Protection: Features internal thermal shutdown and low-voltage detection circuits.
• PWM Support: Frequency up to 100 kHz for smooth speed regulation.

Specifications

• Logic Supply Voltage (VCC): 2.7V to 5.5V
• Motor Supply Voltage (VM): Up to 15V max (Recommended < 13.5V)
• Output Current: 1.2A continuous (average) / 3.2A peak
• Dimensions: Compact breadboard-friendly footprint

Applications

• Two-wheel drive robot cars
