The G2 motor driver reaches the second generation. The motor driver offers at least new features, but one of these catches my attention. The board is designed with a reverse-voltage protection on the power supply inputs that help the user to prevent the destruction of the board if a power supply is connected backwards.

The G2 motor driver uses an H-bridge circuit the metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor also known as MOSFET for amplifying or switching electronic signals.

If you use a system that runs at 3.3V or lower, you can use the G2 driver. But the most import thing is that the driver can drive large DC brushed motors. It can supply a DC motor with a continuous current as high as 13A at a voltage between 6.5 V and 40 V.

The price for the motor driver is $39.95.
