Description
This module is a compact breakout board for ST's high-power VNH5019 motor driver IC, a fully integrated H-bridge that can be used for bidirectional speed control of a single brushed DC motor most of the components of the typical application, like pull-up's and protection resistors and FETs for reverse battery protection. This module is designed By POLOLU and distributed by ST. It is delivered fully populated with its SMD components, including the VNH5019, as shown in the product picture.

Features
■ Operating voltage: 5.5 - 24 V
■ Output current: 12 A continuous (30 maximum)
■ 5V and 3.3 V compatible inputs
■ PWM operation up to 20 kHz for quieter motor operation
■ Current sense output proportional to motor current
■ Motor indicator LEDs (indicates what the outputs are doing even when no motor is connected)
■ SPC5Studio makes it easy to get started using this board and SPC56 32-bit power architecture MCU's
■ Robust: – Reverse-voltage protection – Can survive input voltages up to 41 V – Undervoltage and overvoltage shutdown – High-side and low-side thermal shutdown – Short-to-ground and short-to-Vcc protection
