The DRV8701 DC Motor Driver Module is a high-efficiency dual-MOSFET H-bridge driver designed for controlling brushed DC motors. It supports a wide input voltage range of 7V to 24V, with a maximum instantaneous current of 20A and a continuous current of up to 10A without a heatsink.
When operating above 50°C, a heatsink is recommended for better thermal stability. The module can be used in both PWM speed control and direction control modes. Models with “E” do not support PWM speed control theoretically, while versions with “P” fully support PWM input.
The DRV8701 module offers stable performance and fast response, suitable for high-power motor control in robotics, automation, and motion control systems.
Note:
This module has no built-in protection circuit. When using, do not exceed the rated voltage, and avoid short circuits or reverse polarity. Overvoltage or reverse connection can permanently damage the module.
