H-Bridge Motor Driver with Integrated Current Sense and Regulation using DRV8874
In past, we have published many brushed dc motor driver boards for various projects and usually, they have some sort of limitations, as some of them are large in size, require large size heatsink, doesn’t have current feedback, they don't have overload protection, some require...
Continue Reading42V Input – 3.3V @ 2A Output High Voltage Step Down Regulator
The project described here is a high voltage step-down regulator based on A4447 general-purpose buck converter chip from Allegro Semiconductor. The output voltage of the board is configured at 3.3V, but it is adjustable from 0.8 to 24V, based on the resistor divider R2 and R5....
