This compact breakout board for TI’s DRV8874 motor driver offers a wide operating voltage range of 4.5 V to 37  and can deliver a continuous 2.1 A (6 A peak) to a single bidirectional brushed DC motor. The DRV8874 also features integrated current sensing and regulation as well as built-in protection against under-voltage, over-current, and over-temperature. The carrier board adds protection against reverse voltage.

Details for item #4035
This carrier for TI’s DRV8874PWP motor driver can supply continuous currents up to approximately 2.1 A and can tolerate peak currents up to 6 A. Since this board is a carrier for the DRV8874, we recommend careful reading of the DRV8874 datasheet. The board ships populated with all of its SMD components, including the DRV8874.

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

breakout
A breakout is a small circuit board that makes a tiny or hard-to-solder component easier to connect to with standard pins. It matters because this OLED module can be wired into a microcontroller project without needing to solder directly to the display’s fine contacts.
motor driver
An electronic circuit that lets a low-power controller switch and control a motor that needs more current than the controller pins can safely provide. Checking motor driver support matters because pumps and motors usually cannot be connected directly to a microcontroller output.
pH
A measure of how acidic or alkaline a liquid is, on a scale where 7 is neutral. For a water monitoring kit, pH tells you about water chemistry and whether the included probe matches the range and accuracy your project needs.
PWM
Pulse Width Modulation is a way for a digital pin to simulate variable output power by switching on and off very quickly. It matters for controlling things like LED brightness, motor speed, or servo-style signals from a microcontroller pin.
