TB6612FNG Dual DC Motor Driver Module – 1.2A per Channel

Bring independent speed and direction control to your next robotics project with the TB6612FNG Dual DC Motor Driver Module. This compact module drives two DC motors separately, making it a practical choice for projects that need coordinated movement, such as a two-wheel robot.

Control two motors independently

Fine-tune each motor’s speed using PWM and choose clockwise, counterclockwise, short-brake or stop operation. From moving forward to turning in place, separate A and B channel control gives you flexibility in how your project moves.

• Dual motor outputs: independently control two DC motors.
• Current capacity: 1.2A average per channel, with a short, single-pulse peak of up to 3.2A.
• PWM speed control: supports input frequencies up to 100kHz.
• Standby control: use the STBY pin to place the driver in standby when not needed.
• Built-in protection: thermal shutdown and low-voltage detection circuits.
• Convenient connections: pins broken out at 0.1-inch spacing, with inputs on one side and outputs on the other.
• Supply filtering: decoupling capacitors included on both supply lines.

Technical specifications

• Driver IC: TB6612FNG
• Motor channels: 2, labelled A and B
• Logic supply (VCC): 2.7–5.5V DC
• Motor supply (VM): maximum 15V DC
• Control modes: clockwise, counterclockwise, short-brake and stop

Before you connect

Pull the STBY pin high to take the driver out of standby. Match your motor’s current requirements to the driver’s ratings: the 3.2A figure is a short, single-pulse peak, not a continuous operating current.
