Fermion TB6612FNG 2x1.2A DC Motor Driver

The small DFRobot module from the Fermion series carries the TB6612FNG and controls two DC motors with 1.2 A continuous current each. Control follows the logic of the DFRobot drivers with L298N: one direction pin and one PWM pin per motor, only four pins in total. With the included 2.54 mm pin headers it fits directly onto a breadboard.

Recommended Accessories:

• 6V 155RPM 100:1 Micro Gear Motor with Encoder
• Gear Motor 1:48 Single Shaft
• Dupont Jumper Cable Set 20cm 60 Pieces.

Features:

• Two channels with the TB6612FNG, 1.2 A continuous current per channel, peak 2 A (continuous pulse) and 3.2 A (single pulse)
• Per motor DIR for direction and PWM for speed, code for the DFRobot drivers with L298N fits directly according to DFRobot
• Logic supply VCC 2.7 V to 5.5 V, so for 3.3 V and 5 V boards
• Motor supply VM 2.5 V to 12 V (labelled VM(<12V))
• Two 6-pin headers for soldering, breadboard-friendly

Application Examples:

• Small robots with two gear motors
• Self-balancing robots
• Micro gear motors with 6 V
