Design a Custom BoardAbout This Component
Single brushed DC motor driver with integrated H-bridge, capable of driving a single motor with PWM speed control and direction switching. Supports up to 3.6A peak output current with integrated protection features including overcurrent sensing and thermal shutdown. Operates from 2.7V to 10.5V supply, ideal for robotics, power tools, and consumer electronics applications.
Package: DFN-8 (2×2mm) · 8 pins
Why does this need a breakout?
Hand-soldering 0.5mm pitch pads is extremely difficult without specialized equipment, and the exposed leads cannot access a breadboard. A breakout board with standard 0.1" headers lets you prototype high-voltage DC-DC converters like the MAX15062 without requiring reflow soldering or custom PCBs, making rapid iteration practical for industrial and sensor applications.
