Cytron 3A 4-16V Dual Channel DC Motor Driver
Description
- Cytron 3 A Dual Channel DC Motor Driver
- Can control two brushed DC motors or single bipolar/unipolar stepper motor
- Works with motors from 4 to 16 V
- Has discrete MOSFETs H-Bridge design
- Supports 3 Amp per channel continuously
- Comes with onboard test buttons and motor output LEDs
The Cytron 3A 4-16V Dual Channel DC Motor Driver and motor output LEDs allow a functional test of the motor driver in a quick and convenient way without hooking up the host controller.
Buck-boost regulator which produces 5 V output from the input as low as 4 V can be used to power the host controller. MDD3A can be controlled with wide input logic voltage range from 1.8 V to 12 V, it’s compatible with a wide variety of host controller (e.g. Arduino, Raspberry Pi, PLC).
- 1 x 3 Amp 4 V - 16 V DC Motor Driver (2 Channels)
- Bidirectional control for two brushed DC motor
- Control one unipolar/bipolar stepper motor
- Operating Voltage: DC 4 V to 16 V
- Maximum Motor Current: 3 A continuous, 5 A peak
- Buck-boost regulator to produce 5 V output (200 mA max)
- Buttons for quick testing
- LEDs for motor output state
- Inputs compatible with 1.8 V, 3.3 V, 5 V and 12 V logic (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, PLC, etc)
- PWM frequency up to 20 kHz (Output frequency is same as input frequency)
- Reverse polarity protection
We purchased two MDD3A to drive a pair of dual channel rovers. Each driver was easy to integrate and has worked flawlessly in the application. The MDD3A was used to replace L298N dual H-Bridge drivers which, although work well, suffer from a large voltage/current drop, the MDD3A does not have this limitation and therefore is a better motor driver.
Nous avons acheté deux MDD3A pour piloter une paire de rovers à double canal. Chaque pilote a été facile à intégrer et a parfaitement fonctionné dans l'application. Le MDD3A a été utilisé pour remplacer les pilotes à double pont en L L298N qui, bien qu'ils fonctionnent bien, souffrent d'une forte chute de tension / courant, le MDD3A n'a pas cette limitation et est donc un meilleur pilote de moteur.

- A valid Return Authorization (RA) number must be obtained prior to returning the product. Returns without an RA number will be refused.
- The RA number is valid for 30 days. The returned item must be received within that period.
- The RA number must be included with the return.
- Products must be returned in unused, unmodified condition (e.g., no scratches, alterations, missing parts, or signs of installation/use) and in their original packaging, suitable for resale.
- Shipping fees are non-refundable. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer, except in cases of a product confirmed defective through RobotShop's troubleshooting process or of a verified shipping error by RobotShop.
- Refunds are processed within 7 days after receipt and inspection of the returned item.
- A $100 cleaning fee may apply to domestic robots returned in used or unclean condition.
- A 20% restocking fee may apply to large-quantity returns of items ordered specifically for the customer from the manufacturer or not part of RobotShop's standard inventory.
Return Exceptions
The following products are not eligible for return or refund under this policy:
- Used, damaged, or modified products — Items that show signs of use, wear, or alteration, making them unsuitable for resale.
- Consumables — Use and wear-and-tear components, altered or depleted through use (e.g., batteries, belts, brushes, gears, filament, tires, disposable bags, lubricants, greases, waxes, etc.). Not eligible for return once opened or used.
- Perishables — Goods liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly. Not eligible for return.
- Sealed goods (health or hygiene) — Items sealed for health-protection or hygiene reasons (e.g., masks, gloves, odor-absorbing products). Not eligible for return once unsealed.
- Build-it-yourself products and items requiring customer assembly — Including robots & kits, robot parts, and other products requiring assembly or soldering. Not eligible for return once assembled, soldered, or installed.
- Digital Goods, Software, and Apps — Final sale only, due to licensing restrictions.
- Clearance Items — Products identified as clearance or final sale, including end-of-life or discontinued items.
- Custom-made, personalized, or special-order items — Products manufactured, configured, adapted, or built to the customer's own specifications and requirements.
