Cytron MD13S DC Motor Driver 13Amp 6V-30V GROVE Compatible

Description

Cytron MD13S DC Motor Driver 13Amp 6V-30V GROVE Compatible The MD13S is a compact, user-friendly DC motor driver module that bridges small microcontrollers and medium-power brushed DC motors. The board’s layout groups connectors, status LEDs and test switches so wiring and quick checks are straightforward; this makes it convenient for bench testing and rapid prototyping. Control is achieved via straightforward logic-level inputs that let users vary motor speed and reverse direction from common controller PWM outputs. Because the board is small and simply wired, it fits easily into hobby enclosures and educational rigs, enabling quick iteration during development and classroom demonstrations. For everyday builds the MD13S emphasizes practical usability: easy wiring, visible status indicators, and on-board test buttons that let you manually exercise outputs without extra tools. The accompanying documentation guides through pin assignments and sample control modes, helping both newcomers and experienced builders integrate the driver into their systems reliably. Features: Bi-directional control for one brushed DC motor. Support motor voltage ranges from 6V to 30V. Maximum current up to 13A continuous (without heatsink at 25℃) and 30A peak (10 second). Current limiting at 30A. 3.3V and 5V logic level input. GROVE compatible connector. Solid state components provide faster response time and eliminate the wear and tear of mechanical relay. Fully NMOS H-Bridge for better efficiency and no heat sink is required. Speed control PWM frequency up to 20KHz (Actual output frequency is same as input frequency). Support both locked-antiphase and sign-magnitude PWM operation. Support TTL PWM from microcontroller, not PWM from RC receiver. SMD Compatible. Dimension:61mm x 33mm.
