After the success of MDS40A and with feedback from users, it is now Enhanced Cytron 40Amp DC Motor Driver (Peak 80amp) MDS40B. Enhanced SmartDrive40 is an enhanced version of the MDS40A, it is designed to drive brushed DC motor, ranging from medium to high power motor with current capacity up to 80A peak and 40A continuously.
The MOSFETs are switched at 16 KHz to ensure quiet operation and no annoying whining sound. Besides, it also equipped with a microcontroller unit to provide smart features such as multiple input modes, current limiting, and thermal protection.
