1. INTRODUCTION
SmartDriveDuo-30 is one of the latest smart series motor drivers designed to drive medium
power brushed DC motor with current capacity up to 80A peak (few seconds) and 30A
continuously, each channel. This driver is designed specially for controlling differential drive
mobile robot using RC controller. Nevertheless, MDDS30 also can be controlled using analog
joystick or microcontroller (PWM, Serial). MOSFETs are switched at 18 KHz to ensure quiet
operation and no annoying whining sound. Besides, it also equipped with a microcontroller
unit to provide smart features such as multiple input mode and thermal protection.
“SmartDriveDuo-30’s feature makes driving a robot with
differential drive a truly plug and play experience”
Some of the features for SmartDriveDuo-30 are summarized as below:
● Bi-directional control for dual brushed DC motor.
● Support motor voltage from 7V to 35V.
● Maximum current up to 80A peak (1 second), 30A continuously, each channel.
● On board MOSFETs are switched at 18 KHz for quiet operation.
● Battery low voltage indicator.
● Battery over voltage indicator.
● Thermal protection.
● Current limit protection.
● Multiple input modes: RC, Analog/PWM, Serial Simplified and Serial Packetized.
