DesignSpark PCB Reference Design – Arduino Motor Shield 1

DesignSpark PCB Reference Design


Arduino Motor Shield (RS Part Number: 758-9349)

This is a reference design of Arduino Motor Shield. The Arduino Motor shield
was converted into DesignSpark PCB format. Download link of the project
files and introduction of Arduino Motor Shield could be found in this
datasheet.

The Arduino Motor Shield is based on the L298, a dual H-bridge driver chip
designed to drive inductive loads such as relays, solenoids, DC and stepping
motors. It lets you drive two DC motors, controlling the speed and direction
of each one independently. You can also measure the current of each motor.
The Shield is TinkerKit compatible, which means you can quickly create
projects by plugging TinkerKit modules into the board.
 Operating voltage: +5 to +12V
 L298 motor controller drives two brush DC motors or one stepper
motor
 Max current: 2A per channel (or 4A with external power supply)
 Current sensing: 1.65V/A
 Free run, stop and brake functions
