Infineon Technologies DC-SHIELD_BTN9960LV DC Motor Control Eval Kit

Infineon Technologies DC-SHIELD_BTN9960LV DC Motor Control Eval Kit enables and supports the evaluation of the MOTIX™ BTN9960LV Single Half-Bridge IC. The board includes two BTN9960LV high current PN half-bridges with integrated driver IC. The motor control shield is designed to drive DC motors with an Arduino-compatible baseboard. The evaluation kit can be controlled using a microcontroller’s logic I/O ports. An Arduino Uno R3 or an Infineon µIO Stick via the µIO port can be used as the controller. The Infineon Technologies DC-SHIELD_BTN9960LV is ideal for automotive applications, precisely 12V automotive motor control using a brushed DC motor.

Features

  • Enables and supports evaluation of the MOTIX™ BTN9960LV single half-bridge IC
  • Includes 2x BTN9960LV high current PN half-bridges with integrated driver IC
  • 2x devices on one shield enables efficient testing and evaluation of half-/full-bridge configurations
  • Designed to drive DC motors in combination with an Arduino-compatible baseboard
  • Can be controlled with the general logic IO-ports of a microcontroller
  • Average motor current up to 10A
  • 16-pin connector to interface via a µIO-Stick to a PC or notebook with Infineon’s Toolbox software installed
  • Connectors to stack the motor control shield directly on top of an Arduino UNO controller board
  • PWM operation, controlled by Arduino UNO board
  • Reverse polarity protection by IC0 (PMOS transistor)
  • Operates as:
    • 2x independent single half-bridges to operate 2x DC brushed motors unidirectional
    • Single H (full) bridge to operate a DC brushed motor bi-directional
  • 8V to 18V supply range
  • RoHS compliant
