This carrier board for ST’s VNH5019 motor driver IC operates from 5.5 to 24 V and can deliver a continuous 12 A (30 A peak). It works with 2.5 to 5 V logic levels, supports ultrasonic (up to 20 kHz) PWM, and features current sense feedback (an analog voltage proportional to the motor current). Along with built-in protection against reverse-voltage, over-voltage, under-voltage, over-temperature, and over-current, these features make this product a great general-purpose motor driver.

Notes:
- 1
- Without included headers. The height applies to boards manufactured after December 2014; before this, the electrolytic capacitor was 0.07″ taller, making the board height 0.37″.
- 2
- Without included headers.
- 3
- Not recommended for use with 24V batteries.
- 4
- To -16 V. Connecting supplies over 16 V in reverse can damage the motor driver.
