SparkFun Motor Driver - Dual TB6612FNG (1A)

The SparkFun TB6612FNG Motor Driver breakout can independently control up to two DC motors at a constant current of 1.2 A (3.2 A peak). Each motor channel supports four modes — clockwise, counter-clockwise, short-brake, and stop — controlled via two input signals and a PWM speed input.

All pins are broken out to 0.1″ pitch headers with inputs on one side and outputs on the other for clean wiring. Decoupling capacitors are included on both supply lines. No additional components needed — just solder headers and connect your motors.

Key Features

• Dual H-Bridge – Independently control two DC motors
