The Boardoza DRV8317H Breakout Board is a high-performance, integrated three-phase BLDC motor driver designed for compact and efficient motor control applications. Based on the Texas Instruments DRV8317H, this device integrates three half-bridges with low RDS(ON) MOSFETs, programmable current sensing, and advanced protection mechanisms into a single solution.
Supporting supply voltages up to 24V (absolute maximum) and delivering up to 5A peak output current, the DRV8317H is ideal for robotics, steward and gimbal systems, drones, industrial automation, pumps, and smart motorized systems. With flexible control options such as 6x PWM mode and 3x PWM mode, this board allows both simple and advanced motor control implementations.
