CYTRON Smart Drive MDDS30 Dual is one of the latest smart series motor drivers designed to drive medium power brushed DC motor with current capacity up to 80A peak (few seconds) and 30A continuously, each channel. This driver is designed especially for controlling differential drive mobile robot using the RC controller.
Nevertheless, MDDS30 also can be controlled using an analog joystick or microcontroller (PWM, Serial). MOSFETs are switched at 18 KHz to ensure quiet operation and no annoying whining sound.
