Datasheet

We even had a little space so we added a polarity protection FET on the power pins and a

bit of prototyping area. And the HAT is assembled and tested here at Adafruit so all you

have to do is solder on the included 2x20 plain header and the terminal blocks.

Lets check out these specs again:

4 H-Bridges: TB6612 chipset provides 1.2A per bridge (3A brief peak) with thermal

shutdown protection, internal kickback protection diodes. Can run motors on 4.5VDC

to 13.5VDC.

Up to 4 bi-directional DC motors with individual 8-bit speed selection (so, about

0.5% resolution)

Up to 2 stepper motors (unipolar or bipolar) with single coil, double coil, interleaved

or micro-stepping.

Big terminal block connectors to easily hook up wires (18-26AWG) and power

Polarity protected 2-pin terminal block and jumper to connect external 5-12VDC power

Works best with Raspberry Pi model B+ and A+, but can be used with a model A or B

if you purchase a 2x13 extra-tall header and solder that instead of the

2x20 (http://adafru.it/eib)
