The EVAL-VNH5019-P2 is a dual VNH5019 Motor Driver Shield for Arduino to control two bidirectional high-power brushed DC motors with an Arduino-compatible SPC56P-Discovery and STM32 Nucleo boards. The board features a pair of robust VNH5019A motor drivers, which operate from 5.5 to 24V and can deliver a continuous 12A (30A peak) per channel and incorporate most of the components of the typical application, like pull-ups and protection resistors and FETs for reverse battery protection. This versatile motor driver is intended for a wide range of users, from beginners who just want a plug-and-play motor control solution for their Arduinos and Nucleo to experts who want to directly interface with ST's great motor driver ICs. The Arduino pin mappings can all be customized if the defaults are not convenient and the VNH5019A control lines are broken out along the left side of the board for general-purpose use without an Arduino.
Motor outputs can be combined to deliver up to 24A continuous (60A maximum) to a single motor
Inputs compatible with both 5V and 3.3V systems (logic high threshold is 2.1V)
PWM operation up to 20kHz for quieter motor operation
Current sense voltage output proportional to motor current
Motor indicator LEDs show what the outputs are doing even when no motor is connected
Motor power supply can optionally be used to power the Arduino base (When used as a shield)
Arduino pin mappings can be customized if the default mappings are not convenient
