The TB6612FNG AVR motor driver

The TB6612FNG is an H-Bridge driver IC that can drive up to 2 motors. This IC as a maximum power supply voltage of 15V, with an output current of 1.2A average and 3.2A peak.

This driver is based on my DC Motor PWM driver you can find it here http://davidegironi.blogspot.com/2015/02/driving-dc-motor-using-pwm-with-avr.html

It use the PWM output pins of the microcontroller, it means that no software resources are used to generate the PWM needed to drive the motors in speed.

This driver is built to control one IC, it means 2 motors independently in speed and direction.
