The Motoron M1U256 Single I²C Motor Controller offers a compact solution for controlling one DC motor using a UART serial interface. Multiple Motoron controllers can be connected to the same serial bus, making it easy to expand a system with additional motors. The M1U256 operates from 4.5 V to 48 V and can deliver continuous output currents up to 2.2 A. This version ships with soldered headers.

The Motoron M1T256 and M1U256 controllers make it easy to control a single bidirectional, brushed DC motor using an I²C or TTL serial (UART) interface, respectively. These compact (0.6? × 0.6?) boards operate from 4.5 V to 48 V and can deliver continuous output currents up to 2.2 A. Multiple Motoron controllers can be configured to work on a single I²C or serial bus, allowing independent control of many motors. Unlike most of our motor drivers, the Motoron does not require any PWM outputs or timers on your microcontroller. Instead, only a single I²C or UART interface is needed regardless of how many Motorons you connect.

Features and specifications

One motor control channel allows for control of one bidirectional brushed DC motor per Motoron
Wide operating voltage range: 4.5 V to 48 V (absolute maximum)
- Recommended maximum nominal battery voltage is approximately 36 V
Maximum output current per motor: 2.2 A continuous, 6.4 A peak for <1 second
Reverse-voltage protection on motor power supply (down to -40 V)
Logic voltage range: 3.0 V to 5.5 V
Control interface:
- M1T256: I²C (up to 400 kHz)
- M1U256: non-inverted TTL serial (up to 250 kbps)
Optional cyclic redundancy checking (CRC)

General specifications

Channels: 1
Model: Motoron M1U256
Control interface: non-inverted TTL serial (UART)
Minimum operating voltage: 4.5 V
Maximum operating voltage: 48 V. Absolute maximum; higher voltages can permanently destroy the motor drivers. Recommended maximum nominal battery voltage is approximately 36 V, which leaves a safety margin for ripple voltage on the supply line.
Continuous output current per channel: 2.2 A
Peak output current per channel: 6.4 A
Reverse voltage protection?: Y. Note: Reverse voltage protection only works up to 40 V.
Header pins soldered?: Y
