COM-00315

Overview

The SparkFun COM-00315 is a breakout board featuring the SN754410 quad half-H-bridge motor driver. It enables control of high-voltage motors using standard TTL 5V logic levels. The device supports output voltages ranging from 4.5V to 36V and provides a continuous output current capacity of 1A per channel. This module simplifies the integration of motor control circuits into electronic projects by providing a dedicated interface for driving loads.

Feature Summary

• Integrates the SN754410 quad half-H-bridge driver for motor control applications
• Accepts standard TTL 5V logic inputs for easy microcontroller interfacing
• Supports operation with supply voltages up to 36V for diverse motor types

Applications

• Driving DC motors in robotics platforms
• Controlling small actuators in automation projects
• Motor control interfaces for hobbyist electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific component revision against the manufacturer's datasheet before integration. Confirm that the thermal requirements of your application are met, as the SN754410 may require heat sinking under sustained load conditions. Ensure input voltage and logic level compatibility with your system design to prevent damage to the driver or connected microcontroller.

Selection Notes

Select this module when a compact solution for driving multiple low-to-medium power DC motors is required. It is suitable for designs needing isolation between logic and motor power supplies. Consider thermal management strategies if operating near the maximum current limits. Verify pinout compatibility with existing PCB layouts or breadboard setups.
