1.INTRODUCTION

Cytron 3A Motor Driver Shield (Code: SHIELD-3AMOTOR) is an Arduino shield for controlling

dual DC motor up to 3A for each channel. This product is improvement from our previous

Cytron 2A Motor Driver Shield. It is compatible with most of Arduino boards like Uno,

Leonardo, Mega, Due, Zero, 101 and possibly other pin compatible main boards like CIKU,

CT UNO and CT ARM. SHIELD-3AMOTOR uses DRV8871 SMD IC and support for both signed

magnitude and locked anti-phase. Compare to previous shield, SHIELD-3AMOTOR can

handle higher current up to 3A together with limit current protection.

Some of the features for SHIELD-3AMOTOR are summarized as below:

● Bi-directional control for dual brushed DC motor.

● Support motor voltage from 7V to 30V*.

● Maximum current up to 3A peak and 1.2A continuously, each channel.

● Current limit protection.

● Support 3.3V and 5V logic level input.

● Stackable I/O header pin.

● Selectable DIP switch mode for Signed Magnitude and Locked Anti-Phase.

● Quick test switch for both channel.

● NO POLARITY PROTECTION FOR V MOTOR.

*For voltage more than 12V, please refer to section 5. Power Supply.
