Product Description
The TB6612FNG Dual Motor Driver Module is a compact, efficient motor driver designed to control two DC motors or one bipolar stepper motor in robotics and embedded projects. Based on the TB6612FNG H-bridge driver IC from Toshiba, this module delivers smoother operation, lower heat generation, and better performance than classic L298 modules — especially at lower voltages.
With 1 A continuous current per channel, the driver supports bidirectional motor control with PWM speed regulation. Its logic inputs are compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V microcontrollers, making it easy to interface with Arduino, ESP32, STM32, Raspberry Pi (with level shifting), and similar platforms. Typical use cases include robotics motion control, wheeled robots, mini vehicles, automated systems, and actuator control.
