1. INTRODUCTION/OVERVIEW

MD13S is designed to drive high current brushed DC motor up to 13A continuously. It offers
several enhancements such as support for both locked-antiphase and sign-magnitude PWM
signal because it uses full solid state components which is able to provide faster response
time and eliminate the wear and tear of the mechanical relay.

The MD13S has been designed with the capabilities and features of:

● 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
