2 SDC21xx Motor Controller Datasheet Version 1.3. April 05, 2014
• Trigger action if Analog, Pulse or Encoder capture are
outside user selectable range (soft limit switches)
• Open loop or closed loop speed control operation
• Closed loop position control with analog or pulse/fre-
quency feedback
• Precise speed and position control when Encoder feed-
back is used
• PID control loop with separate gains for each channel
• Optional Mixed control (sum and difference) for tank-like
steering
• Configurable Data Logging of operating parameters on
RS232 Output for telemetry or analysis
• Built-in Battery Voltage and Temperature sensors
• Power Control header for turning On or Off the controller
from external microcomputer or switch
• No consumption by output stage when motors stopped
• Regulated 5V output for powering Encoders, RC radio,
RF Modem or microcomputer
• Separate Programmable acceleration and deceleration
for each motor
• Separate Programmable maximum forward and reverse
power
• Support for CANopen and two simplified CAN protocols
• Direct connection to multi-channel Spektrum SPM9545
2.4GHz RC satellite receiver
• Ultra-efficient 10 mOhm ON resistance MOSFETs
• Orderable as single channel version up to 40A
• Stall detection and selectable triggered action if Amps is
outside user-selected range
