Product details
Overview
DM164130-6 from Microchip Technology is a Brushed DC Motor Control Add-on Board designed to interface with the F1 LV Evaluation Platform (based on PIC16LF1947 MCU). It provides full H-bridge drive capability for single BDC motors, supports PWM speed control up to 20 kHz, delivers up to 1.5 A continuous current, and integrates current-sense feedback and thermal shutdown protection. It is used in low-power motor evaluation and embedded motion control prototyping.
For engineers reviewing the DM164130-6 datasheet, DM164130-6 pinout, DM164130-6 application, or DM164130-6 equivalent, this page delivers verified hardware interface details, power delivery specs, motor control timing constraints, and integration guidance with the F1 LV base platform and PIC16LF1947 firmware stack.
Technical Context
The DM164130-6 implements a discrete dual-MOSFET H-bridge using N-channel high-side and low-side drivers controlled by complementary logic-level inputs from the PIC16LF1947. It requires external 5–12 V motor supply (VMOT) and draws logic power (3.3 V) from the F1 LV base board via the 20-pin add-on connector.
Motor direction and braking are controlled via two dedicated GPIO lines (DIR and BRAKE), while speed is modulated via a third PWM input (PWMIN) referenced to the base board's 3.3 V logic domain. Current sensing is analog, routed to an ADC input on the PIC16LF1947 for closed-loop monitoring.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Motor Type Support | Single brushed DC (BDC) motor with bidirectional rotation and dynamic braking |
| Max Continuous Current | 1.5 A - defines minimum trace width and heatsinking requirements on host PCB |
| PWM Input Frequency | Up to 20 kHz - enables smooth torque delivery and audible noise suppression |
| Logic Supply | 3.3 V only, sourced from F1 LV base board - no local regulation required |
| Motor Supply Range | 5–12 V DC - must be externally supplied; not regulated or generated onboard |
| Current Sense Output | Analog voltage proportional to motor current (100 mV/A) - directly compatible with PIC16LF1947 ADC |
| Thermal Protection | Automatic shutdown at >150°C junction temperature - prevents MOSFET failure during stall or overload |

FAQ
What is the DM164130-6 and how does it connect to the F1 LV Evaluation Platform?
The DM164130-6 is a Brushed DC Motor Control Add-on Board that mates directly to the 20-pin expansion header (J3) of the F1 LV Evaluation Platform. It receives 3.3 V logic power and control signals (DIR, BRAKE, PWMIN, and current sense) from the base board's PIC16LF1947 MCU. The DM164130-6 itself requires a separate 5–12 V motor supply (VMOT) applied externally. Its pin-compatible interface allows seamless integration with the preloaded demo firmware and MPLAB® toolchain.
Does the DM164130-6 include its own microcontroller or firmware?
No, the DM164130-6 is a passive motor driver board with no onboard microcontroller, memory, or firmware. All control logic-including PWM generation, direction sequencing, and current monitoring-is executed by the PIC16LF1947 on the F1 LV base board. The DM164130-6 implements only analog and power-stage circuitry: dual N-MOSFET H-bridge, gate drivers, current-sense amplifier, and thermal protection. Firmware for the DM164130-6 is part of the F1 LV platform's default and motor demo code packages.
What motor supply voltage and current limits apply to the DM164130-6?
The DM164130-6 accepts a motor supply (VMOT) between 5 V and 12 V DC, which must be provided externally-no onboard regulation or boost conversion is included. It supports up to 1.5 A continuous motor current and brief peak currents up to 2.5 A. Exceeding these limits risks thermal shutdown or MOSFET damage. The board includes a thermal pad and copper pour to aid heat dissipation under sustained load.
How is motor current measured and used with the DM164130-6?
The DM164130-6 provides an analog current-sense output (ISENSE) that delivers 100 mV per ampere of motor current, referenced to the F1 LV board's ground. This signal connects directly to an ADC input channel on the PIC16LF1947 (e.g., AN12), enabling real-time current monitoring, stall detection, and closed-loop current limiting in firmware. The scaling is linear and calibrated; no external gain or offset adjustment is required for basic use.
Can the DM164130-6 be used independently without the F1 LV Evaluation Platform?
No-the DM164130-6 is not a standalone module. It lacks power regulation, clock source, MCU, programming interface, or user I/O. It is designed exclusively as an add-on for the F1 LV Evaluation Platform and relies entirely on the PIC16LF1947 for control signal generation, firmware execution, and system coordination. While its schematic is publicly available, functional operation requires the base board's hardware resources and validated firmware stack.
