EMS (Embedded Module Series)
30 A H-Bridge rev. 1
Embedded Module Series (EMS) 30 A H-
Bridge is a VNH3SP30 based H-Bridge driver
designed to generate 2 ways drive with continuous current
up to 30 A at 5 5 Volts to 36 Volts voltage (up to 16 V
for IC VNH2SP30) This module is equipped with a current
sensor that can be used as a feedback to the controller
This module can drive inductive loads such as relay,
solenoid, DC motor, motor stepper, and other kinds of
load
Specifications

circuitry for IC VNH2SP30 is available
2 Can pass 30 A continuous current
3 Load voltage ranges from 5 5 V to 36 V (up to 16 V
for IC VNH2SP30)
4 Compatible with TTL and CMOS level input

Layout
Pin Interface Header J1 Allocation
Pin Name I/O Function
1 MIN1 I Input pin to determine the
MOU 1 output
2 MIN2 I Input pin to determine the
MOU 2 output
3 MEN1 I/O
Enable pin for MOU 1 output
Give High logic to activate
half H-Bridge 1, give Low
logic externally to deactivate
half H-Bridge 1
If there is a faulty condition
(thermal shutdown,
undervoltage, overvoltage,
etc ), then this pin will be
pulled low internally by H-
Bridge module to report the
faulty condition
4 MEN2 I/O
Enable pin for MOU 2 output
Give High logic to activate
half H-Bridge 2, give Low
logic externally to deactivate
half H-Bridge 2
If there is a faulty condition
(thermal shutdown,
undervoltage, overvoltage,
etc ), then this pin will be
pulled low internally by H-
Bridge module to report the
faulty condition
5 MCS O
Analog output voltage
proportional to load current
(output range 0-5 V)
Available for IC VNH2SP30
6 MPWM I Input pin to control H-Bridge
by PWM
7,
9VCC - Connected to power supply for
input (5 Volt)
8,
10 PGND - Reference point for power
supply input
The current (In Ampere) passing through H-Bridge can be
calculated with the following equation:
