BTS7960 Motor Driver – High Current Single Channel – MakerBotics

The BTS7960 Motor Driver is well suited for a DC motor-driven project demanding high current and a wide voltage input range of between 6-27VDC. 

This high-current motor driver includes a BTS7960, an advanced motor driver IC with advanced features such as thermal overcurrent protection, current sense and undervoltage protection. The driver can easily be interfaced with micro-controllers such as the popular Arduino, ESP32 and Teensy microcontroller and the control method is via two control signal inputs. The driver can work with both 3.3 and 5V signal logic levels.

Use this motor driver to control our MakerBotics selection of motors.

The BTS7960 Motor Driver features a large black-anodised aluminium heatsink to dissipate heat and ensures higher operating efficiency.
