Motor Driver ICs are integrated circuits designed to control the operation of electric motors. They act as an interface between a microcontroller and the motor, allowing for precise control of speed, direction, and torque. These ICs can drive various types of motors, including DC motors, stepper motors, and servo motors. Typically, Motor Driver ICs use transistors to switch the power supplied to the motor on and off, enabling efficient control. They often include features like built-in protection against overheating and overcurrent, making them essential components in robotics, automation, and other applications requiring motor control.
