DC-Motor-Control-TLE94112EL Library

Library of Infineon's DC Motor Shield with TLE94112EL for Arduino.

Summary

The DC motor shield is a small evaluation board equipped with TLE94112EL for use with Arduino. The TLE94112EL is capable to drive up to 6 small DC motors in parallel mode or up to 11 DC motors in cascaded mode. All outputs can drive up to 0.9A. The outputs can be used stand-alone or combined to increase driving capability up to 3.6A. The implemented integrated TLE94112EL is a protected twelve-fold half-bridge driver designed especially for automotive motion control applications such as Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) flap DC motor control.

Key Features and Benefits

• Driver with 12 half-bridge outputs to drive DC motors, resistive or inductive loads
• Driver is protected against over-temperature, over-current, over-voltage, under-voltage and enables diagnosis of over-current, over-voltage, under-voltage
• SPI interface with zero clock diagnosis
• Enhanced EMC performance
• Integrated PWM generator with 3 different frequencies (80Hz, 100Hz, 200Hz)
• Shield enables compact design for multi-motor applications
• Efficient design for multi-motor applications
• Less communication with µC through integrated PWM generator and zero clock diagnosis
• Reducing external components to meet EMC requirements
• The board is stackable if you change the position of a resistor, see here
• LED driver on the first half-bridge

Target Applications:

• Multi-motor applications
• DC motors and voltage controlled bipolar stepper motors
• Toys
• HVAC systems
